Dura Type Insert Replacement Pads

Kool-Stop's Dura Type Insert Replacement Pads are a trusted aftermarket upgrade for riders running high-end rim brake systems. Developed to match the specification of original Shimano pads, these inserts bring improved wet-weather braking and rim-friendly compounds to your existing brake holders — a smart, cost-effective refresh for any serious road cyclist.

Our Take

If you're riding the Western Ghats between Pune and Lonavala, or descending the hairpins above Ooty, brake feel matters enormously. Kool-Stop's Dura Type pads deliver progressive, confident modulation across the full range of Indian riding conditions — from scorching 35°C+ summer tarmac in Hyderabad to wet monsoon descents where standard pads fade fast. The Salmon compound in particular has earned genuine loyalty among Indian rim-brake riders who demand consistent stopping power when roads turn slick.

Sizing for Indian Riders

These are insert pads designed to fit 55mm length brake pad holders — a universal standard across the majority of road and sportive bikes sold in India. No sizing in the clothing sense applies here, but do confirm your existing holders accept a set-screw type insert before ordering. Most Shimano, SRAM, TRP, and Tektro callipers in this format will accept these pads without modification.

Compatibility Notes

Kool-Stop Dura Type inserts are compatible with Shimano, SRAM, TRP, and Tektro brake holders that use a 55mm set-screw format. Brake pad holders are not included. Six compound options are available: Black, Salmon, Ceramic, Dual, Carbon Compound, and Carbon Compound 2 — select the compound suited to your rim material (alloy or carbon).

Pairs Well With

Complete your braking setup with rim brake callipers, brake levers, or inline barrel adjusters for fine-tuning cable tension. A set of quality brake cables and housing, or cork handlebar tape for better lever grip on long descents, rounds out a confident braking system.
