{"product_id":"eagle-2-threaded","title":"Eagle 2 Threaded Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop Eagle 2 Threaded is a workhorse rim brake pad designed for riders who demand consistent stopping power across varied conditions. With a 64.1 mm pad length and a reinforced steel backbone, it suits road cyclists, commuters, and touring riders across India who rely on rim brakes for everyday dependability and precision control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor riders navigating Pune's traffic, the long descents of Lonavala and Khandala, or the steep ghats around Ooty and Coorg, reliable rim braking is non-negotiable. The Eagle 2's patented angled tip plow and water groove design are genuinely useful during monsoon riding, when wet rims can compromise stopping distances. The Pad-Lock washer system keeps the pad firmly positioned under hard braking — exactly what you need on unpredictable Indian road surfaces. A solid, dependable choice selected for Indian conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Eagle 2 Threaded uses a standard threaded post mount compatible with most road and touring rim brake calipers. No European-to-Indian size conversion applies here — fit depends on your brake caliper's post diameter rather than body size. In high-heat conditions above 35°C, compound selection matters: the Salmon compound is widely preferred for wet and mixed conditions, while the Ceramic compound suits aluminium rims in dry summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Eagle 2 Threaded fits brake calipers with a threaded post mount — verify your caliper accepts this format before ordering. It is compatible with aluminium rims; do not use on carbon rims unless the specific compound is rated for carbon. Nine compound options are available including Dual Compound and Ceramic. Clean pads and rim surfaces regularly, especially after monsoon rides, to maintain braking performance and extend pad life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your rim brake setup with quality brake cables and housing, aluminium or alloy road wheels, bar tape suited to Indian heat, and a frame pump or CO2 inflator for long rides in the Western Ghats or on Rajasthan highway touring routes.\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 Kool-Stop Eagle 2 Threaded best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Eagle 2 Threaded is best suited for road cycling, commuting, and touring on bikes equipped with rim brake calipers using a threaded post mount.

The Salmon compound is widely recommended for wet and mixed conditions — ideal for Indian monsoon riding. The Ceramic compound suits dry summer heat on aluminium rims. Dual Compound covers both wet and dry performance well, making it a practical pick for year-round riders across India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWill the Kool-Stop Eagle 2 Threaded perform well in Indian monsoon conditions and 35°C+ heat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eYes. The Eagle 2's water groove channels moisture away from the braking surface, improving wet-weather stopping power during monsoon rides. The Pad-Lock washer system prevents pad movement under repeated hard braking. For summer heat above 35°C in cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, or Ahmedabad, the Ceramic compound offers stable performance on aluminium rims without excessive wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Eagle 2 Threaded compare to standard OEM rim brake pads?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Eagle 2 outperforms most OEM pads through its hardened steel backbone — which resists deformation under braking load — and its compound range, which is specifically engineered for wet, dry, and mixed conditions.
