KOOLSTOP brake pads D293K Aero Kool organic for SRAM Guide | Avid Trail
The name Kool-Stop has always been associated with excellent braking effect and low wear. Thanks to these properties, the pads from Oregon/USA are among the top retrofit brake pads and can even increase the performance of your brakes.
The Aero Kool rubbers are made from organic materials and bonded with synthetic resin. In order to improve the braking properties and reduce abrasion, the pad contains small amounts of metal particles. Nevertheless, the coverings are mostly organic, you could also say they are semi-metallic. This mixture results in optimal dry and wet braking values and also keeps wear on the disc to a minimum. An aluminum carrier plate that is equipped with cooling pins helps to release the brake heat much better into the ambient air and prevent the brake caliper and brake discs from overheating. This effectively counteracts fading and, due to the slower rise in temperature, brakes with Aero-Kool pads have more consistent braking behavior.
Note: The SRAM Guide brake caliper with Bleeding Edge Technology (Model B1) is not compatible with these brake pads!
