{"product_id":"ks-d295","title":"Organic Avid Code 2010 Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D295 disc brake pads are a direct-fit replacement for Avid disc brake systems, offering a no-fuss upgrade path for riders who want dependable stopping power on Indian roads. Whether you're descending the Western Ghats, navigating Pune's monsoon-slicked streets, or threading through Delhi traffic, reliable disc brake performance is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's riding conditions are tough on brake pads — the dusty climbs around Ooty, the wet descents near Khandala, and the gritty city roads of Hyderabad all accelerate pad wear faster than temperate European riding. The KS-D295 brings Kool-Stop's reputation for consistent modulation and durability into an affordable, easy-to-source replacement. The included spring makes installation straightforward, and the lightweight pair weight keeps your wheel end tidy. For Avid brake users across India, these pads are a smart, dependable stock-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisc brake pads are not sized by rider body dimensions, but getting the correct pad compound and fit for your specific caliper matters greatly. In India's 35°C+ summers and monsoon humidity, compound choice directly affects braking consistency. Confirm your Avid caliper model before ordering. These pads fit specific Avid calliper generations — check the KS-D295 compatibility code against your groupset year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KS-D295 is designed for Avid disc brake calipers (Code series, 2010 specification) and includes the retaining spring. Not compatible with non-Avid systems. Works with standard disc rotors. Store pads away from oil and chain lubricant contamination. Avoid touching pad surfaces with bare hands during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your braking system with quality disc rotors, hydraulic brake fluid (if applicable to your system), brake bleed kits for hydraulic setups, and bar tape or grips to round out your cockpit control. Cable and housing sets are also a practical addition for full drivetrain readiness.\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 are the Kool-Stop KS-D295 disc brake pads best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D295 is a direct replacement pad for Avid Code disc brake calipers, best used for road, gravel, and mountain cycling where dependable stopping is essential.

Kool-Stop compounds are formulated to perform in both wet and dry conditions, making them practical for India's monsoon season and intense summer heat.
