Dura Road Holder Threaded Brake Pads

The Kool-Stop Dura Road Holder Threaded is a precision-engineered rim brake pad set built for riders who refuse to compromise on stopping power. Combining a forged aluminium holder with a dual compound insert system, it delivers confident, progressive braking across varied road surfaces — from smooth city tarmac to the broken, unpredictable stretches you'll find on climbs around Lonavala, Ooty, or the roads leading into Coorg.

Our Take

India's riding conditions are demanding: monsoon-wet rims, heat-softened tar on descents outside Pune or Hyderabad, and the kind of long brake-heavy descents on Ghats roads that will expose any weakness in a brake pad. Kool-Stop's Dual Compound insert manages heat and modulation well, while the included salmon compound inserts give you a noticeably more aggressive bite when rims are wet — exactly what you want heading into a Mumbai or Chennai downpour. The patented Plow Tip design clears water and debris from the rim braking surface, keeping contact consistent when it matters most.

Sizing for Indian Riders

The Dura Road Holder Threaded uses a standard threaded post mount at 55.5 mm overall length, fitting most Shimano-type dual pivot brake systems. There is no body sizing to consider here. Riders with narrower road rims should confirm the 9.8 mm pad contact width suits their rim's braking track before ordering. No European-to-Indian conversion needed — compatibility is the only fit factor.

Compatibility Notes

Designed for most Shimano-type threaded brake systems. The threaded holder is not interchangeable with cartridge-style holders. The aluminium holder accepts dual compound Dura inserts (KS-RHDDL) or the dual plus salmon combo set (KS-RHD / KS-RHDA). Clean rims regularly — particularly after monsoon rides — to maximise compound life and maintain braking performance.

Pairs Well With

Complete your brake setup with quality brake levers or dual pivot callipers from our Brakes collection. Consider bar tape for improved grip on wet descents, cycling gloves for better lever feel, and a track pump with an accurate gauge to maintain tyre pressures that complement sharp rim braking.
