Kool Stop pads?

It's time to replace brake pads for the road bike. Some people
seem to think Kool Stop salmon coloured pads are the dogs, so
I wonder where they can be bought? Sydney preferably, but
online otherwise...

I bought mine from Harris Cyclery in the US. Freight/postage
from the US is ridiculously expensive, but I haven't seen KS
salmons offered online in Australia or Europe. So I bought 6
sets, as I've got about that number of family bikes to
maintain. The link:

I got 6 pairs but from aebike.com. Got a few other small bits and pieces as well to spread the postage cost.
I find the salmon work only a little bit better in the wet, but they seem to squeal more than the other colours.

I bought 4 pairs for $48 inc shipping from ebay. The seller was icycles.

And if by "dogs" you mean they are good, then yes, they are the best, esp.
in wet weather.

Someone asked this a while ago and Clarence St had them then, might be
worth a ring
