# Salmon: for severe weather
# Black: for regular road conditions

I've been using a pair of the silver/grey Eagle Claws pads on a tandem for
several years. They stop fine and they don't chew bits out of the rims..."John Ampleforth" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

Yeah, they're great! Got a pair on my rerimmed Ladies Raleigh Sports, and
they came off a set of 600 calipers when I put new brakes on another bike.
Extremely long lasting, don't pick up glass, quiet, no residue. Just the
perfect pad. Might be a little harder than the salmon--but they stop
plenty great in the rain.Mine are the "universal" Continental style. An ebay shop gets me two pairs
shipped for $12 or so. -

according to the Kool Stop website.See:
http://www.koolstop.com/brakes/index.php#Anchor-Completely-14177
and scroll down to "Continemtal."
=====
"Completely molded brake pad and holder
Built in heat sink
Reasonably priced Kool Stop quality and performance
Compounds:
Gray for normal conditions,
Salmon for any riding condition mother nature can throw your way.
Will work for steel or alloy rims because our Kool-Stop compounds are
Rim Friendly ®
=====I bought two pair of the grey Continental pads on eBay, but haven't
had a chance to try them yet as my Salmon Continentals seem to last
forever.Art Harris

That's been my experience too. The salmon are better but the
black/gray/whatever Kool-stops are the next best thing.Matt O.
