{"product_id":"dura-2-triplelite-threaded","title":"Dura 2 Triplelite Threaded Rim Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe KOOLSTOP Dura 2 Triplelite Threaded is a precision-engineered rim brake pad set built for riders who demand reliable stopping power without adding unnecessary weight to their setup. With a forged aluminium holder and a patented triple compound insert, it brings competition-grade braking to everyday road and criterium riding across India's varied terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor riders navigating the steep descents of Lonavala, the wet ghats roads of Coorg, or the fast-moving traffic of Pune's ring roads, confident braking is non-negotiable. The Dura 2 Triplelite's triple compound construction grips consistently across dry tarmac and wet monsoon surfaces alike. Water grooves help channel moisture away from the rim contact surface, which is a genuine advantage during India's June–September rains. At just 31 grams per pair, the weight penalty is practically zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are threaded brake pads and sizing relates to compatibility rather than body fit. The 54.4 mm overall length and 7.5 mm contact width suit most standard Shimano-type dual-pivot rim brake callipers commonly found on road bikes popular in India. Verify your calliper's pad slot accepts a threaded post before ordering — most Shimano 105, Ultegra, and Dura-Ace callipers do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dura 2 Triplelite (Part No. KS-RHD2) is designed for Shimano-type brake systems with threaded pad holders. It is compatible with aluminium rims only — not carbon rims. Replacement pads are the Dura Type or Dura 2 inserts. Keep the water grooves clear of debris after rides on muddy Indian roads for best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound out your braking system with quality brake cables and housing, a reliable rim tape set for aluminium wheels, bar tape that improves control on rough tarmac, and a torque wrench for accurate calliper installation. These accessories complement the Dura 2 Triplelite's performance at every level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koolstop\"\u003eExplore the full KOOLSTOP collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised KOOLSTOP retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the KOOLSTOP Dura 2 Triplelite Threaded best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eIt is best suited for road cyclists using Shimano-type dual-pivot rim brake callipers who want lightweight, high-performance stopping power.
