{"product_id":"ks-d330k","title":"Organic Formula RO\/The One\/Mega Aero Kool Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D330K disc brake pads bring professional-grade stopping performance to Indian roads, pairing a forged aluminium backing plate with cooling pins and a high-performance organic compound. Whether you're descending into Lonavala or navigating rain-soaked streets in Chennai, reliable modulation and heat dissipation matter every single time you reach for the brake lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's mix of long Ghats descents, potholed city roads, and unpredictable monsoon surfaces demands brake pads that shed heat quickly and maintain feel. The KS-D330K's forged aluminium back with integrated cooling pins addresses exactly that. The organic compound offers progressive modulation rather than an abrupt grab — welcome news for anyone threading through Pune or Hyderabad traffic. At roughly 21 grams per pair, they add almost nothing to your build weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisc brake pads are selected by rotor and caliper compatibility rather than rider body measurements. The KS-D330K is designed for Formula Oro R1 and The One calipers with spring included. Verify your caliper model before ordering. Rider weight matters for pad longevity on hot climbs — heavier riders on steep Ooty or Coorg descents may see faster wear with organic compounds and should plan for earlier replacement intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for Formula Oro R1 and The One disc brake calipers; equivalent to the D330 range. Pads include the retention spring. Organic compound works with steel and aluminium rotors. Bed in properly on a quiet road before committing to full-load descents. Keep pads clear of chain lube and tyre sealant contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider pairing with quality disc rotors for consistent braking surface contact, hydraulic brake fluid compatible with Formula systems for clean caliper maintenance, rotor-specific disc brake cleaner for contamination prevention, and a torque wrench set to ensure correct caliper mounting torque on Indian road surfaces.\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-D330K disc pads best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D330K suits road and gravel cyclists using Formula Oro R1 or The One hydraulic disc calipers who want consistent, modulated stopping power.
