Dura 2 Insert Replacement Pads

The Kool-Stop Dura 2 Insert Replacement Pad is a precision-engineered rim brake consumable built for road cyclists who demand consistent stopping power across every condition. Thicker than the standard Dura pad for extended service life, it fits the widest range of popular brake holders and suits riders at every level — from weekend warriors on Pune's expressways to committed climbers tackling Lonavala and Ooty descents.

Our Take

India's riding conditions are demanding: monsoon-slicked roads, red-dust grit from highway shoulders, and punishing descents on the Western Ghats all accelerate pad wear faster than European benchmarks assume. The Dura 2's thicker compound gives you meaningful extra life between replacements, while its water grooves bite confidently through surface water. With compound options spanning ceramic, carbon-specific, and electric bike variants, this is one of the most versatile rim pad inserts you can stock in your kit bag.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Pad inserts are not size-dependent on the rider, but they are rim-dependent. The Dura 2 features a 7.65 mm contact width suited to narrower road rims. Confirm your brake holder length — standard 55 mm holders are the most common fit, while the KS-DR240E variant covers 40 mm short holders. Check your existing holder brand before ordering.

Compatibility Notes

Dura 2 inserts are built to Shimano specification and fit Shimano, SRAM, TRP, and Tektro holders secured by a set screw. They are not compatible with cartridge-less one-piece pads. Brake pad holders are not included. For carbon rims, select the dedicated carbon fiber or Road Carbon compound variants to avoid rim damage.

Pairs Well With

Complete your braking setup with rim brake calipers (road or cyclocross), brake levers compatible with your drivetrain groupset, brake cables and housing for a full system refresh, and rim tape to protect alloy or carbon rims during aggressive braking sessions.
