{"product_id":"ks-d735","title":"Organic Sr Suntour Mech\/Tektro Auriga Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D735 is a replacement disc brake pad designed to fit a specific range of mechanical disc brake systems commonly found on mountain, hybrid, and e-bikes across India. Whether you ride the rocky descents around Lonavala, the long monsoon-soaked gradients near Ooty, or the dusty urban commutes of Delhi and Hyderabad, having reliable stopping power is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian riding conditions are demanding — abrasive road surfaces, unpredictable monsoon mud, and long descents in places like Coorg or the Western Ghats eat through brake pads faster than European benchmarks suggest. The KS-D735 is a straightforward, quality replacement pad from Kool-Stop, a brand trusted globally for braking compounds. If your Tektro Auriga or SR Suntour mechanical disc system has started squealing or showing reduced bite, swapping in these pads is the most cost-effective fix before a full calliper replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are not sized by rider body type, but fitment compatibility matters enormously. Verify your calliper model against the confirmed compatible list — Tektro Volans, Auriga Twin, Auriga SUB, Auriga E-SUB, and SR Suntour Mechanical — before ordering. Riders in high-humidity cities like Chennai or Kolkata should inspect pad wear more frequently as moisture accelerates compound degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KS-D735 is confirmed compatible with SR Suntour Mechanical, Tektro Volans, Tektro Auriga Twin, Tektro Auriga SUB, and Tektro Auriga E-SUB callipers. These are mechanical disc systems, not hydraulic. Do not attempt to fit these pads into hydraulic callipers. Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol after installation to avoid contamination and bedding-in noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your braking system upgrade with compatible disc rotors in the appropriate diameter, brake cables and housing for mechanical disc systems, rotor bolts or a centre-lock adapter if needed, and a torque wrench for safe calliper and rotor installation.\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-D735 best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D735 is a replacement disc brake pad best used for restoring stopping performance on mechanical disc brake systems.
