{"product_id":"ks-d270s","title":"Sintered Avid Juicy 7\/5 Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D270S is a sintered disc brake pad designed for riders who demand reliable stopping power in demanding conditions. Built with a copper-plated backing plate and a sintered compound, these pads are engineered for high-stress situations where heat and trail grime push standard pads to their limits — making them a strong choice for gravity riding and long descents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's mountain terrain — from the rocky descents around Manali to the long switchbacks of Coorg and Ooty — demands brake pads that don't fade under sustained pressure. The KS-D270S sintered compound handles heat build-up well and resists the gritty mud common during monsoon riding. If you run Avid Juicy 7 or Juicy 5 brakes and ride anything beyond flat tarmac, these pads deserve a place in your maintenance kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are pad-shape specific, not rider-size specific. The KS-D270S is designed to fit Avid Juicy 7 and Juicy 5 callipers — verify your calliper model before ordering. No heat or body-size consideration applies here, though riders in high-humidity coastal cities like Chennai or Kolkata should inspect pad wear more frequently due to added corrosion exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pads are compatible with Avid Juicy 7 and Juicy 5 hydraulic disc brake callipers. The spring is included. The sintered compound suits wet, muddy, and high-heat conditions but may generate slightly more noise than organic pads on dry tarmac. Replace in pairs for consistent braking balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your braking setup with hydraulic brake fluid for Avid systems, quality brake rotors sized for your fork and frame, a bleed kit for Avid hydraulics, and bar-end or inline brake cable accessories for clean cockpit routing.\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 KS-D270S best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D270S is best suited for aggressive mountain biking, downhill riding, and enduro use where brakes are under sustained load.
