    Definately the Koolstop pads. They last longer,
    stop better and remove and pick up bits of your
    rims. They are harder to find though.

    A friend of mine has told me she's had no luck finding koolstops in
    Australia, period.

    Thankfully, she's offered to buy a load when she's in the States as part
    of her round the world trip. (lucky cow 😉 )

    Just got some Kool Stop eagle 2's from The Bike Shed, Woden, ACT - discovered I had no front brake this morning and they were the only ones that would fit my calipers.
    Not so keen on them eating my Velocity Dyads though.

    Must remember to spot the wear before it reaches 45degrees!

    Hey, that's me! And I'm back!
    But... no luck.....I only managed to find people carrying the black ones in
    stock, and I was after the salmon! So, internet shopping, here I come. I
    will get some for you too Bluenose..
    (For those interested, Phantom Cycles has/had them listed on their webpage
    but have been unable to obtain stock for over a year)
    I did manage to pick up some track chains, bars, stem, chain tensioners,
    tools........ the list goes on! *grin*

    colour. Not black.... let me know!

    Clarence Street have both colours (black and salmon)(plus black for
    Campy). They are part no C89 (both seem to have the same number). They
    both say to fit Shimano ST-740. $25 a pair. The salmon ones are hidden
    at the back which is why I did not see them last time.

    Uh?

    I asked them a few weeks ago, and they said they didn't
    stock them! Maybe they just mean not *currently* in stock.

    Yeah I had a look when I was in there yesterday.

    What I really want is some of the other colours.
    I have some yellow ones on the tandem, I don't know
    how long they'll last (very soft) but they work
    fantastically. I'm guessing they don't make these
    anymore... the LBS at Tuggerah (before it was bought out)
    used to stock the whole range of koolstop pads.
    Not sure what they've got now, every time I go in
    there the staff seem to rub me the wrong way.
