The Salmon brake pads are, in my experience, the best stoppers out there. At 190 + bike, I need good brake pads, and these are they.

*note: the product pictured here is not the right one. What I ordered and received were the V-brake pads

I was having trouble being able to stop my bike on a steep downhill on my commute to work. Even pulling back hard on the brakes, I could not stop and barely reduced speed. Not good. I did all the things I could to improve the braking, but no luck. Last thing to do was to try some different pads. Asked around and kept hearing these being recommended, so I ordered a set. Put them on and headed out on my commute. Headed down the hill, used the brakes, and lo and behold, I could stop. They stop me quickly, smoothly, and noiselessly. What more can you ask for? Most importantly, I have confidence that I can stop if/when cars pull out in front of me on this section of the downhill.

As for price, I compared these to the SwissStop green pads. The Kool Stops come in packs of 2 and the SwissStops in packs or 4. So you have to double the price of the kool stops to make a comparison to the quoted price of the Swissstops. Still, the Kool Stops come in priced less than the SwissStops.

Highly recommend these pads from the perspective of price and stopping power.

The Kool Stop brake pads are an improvement over Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra. Braking is smoother, quicker and quieter. I replaced my Shimano brake pads at the same time I installed new aluminum wheels on my bike. Judging from the condition of the rims after about 300 miles, the Kool Stop brake pads appear to be gentle to the rims. Due to the low milelage on these brake pads, I can't judge how long they will wear relative to the Shimanos, but given the relatively low price for the Kool Stops, I'm willing to replace them more often than the Shimanos, if necessary.
