Dura-Ace/Ultegra Brake Pads for Carbon Rims

I use these for my Reynolds carbon rims. They were clearly superior to the pads provided by Reynolds that came with the rims which were horrible (poor modulation, weak stopping power, and the horrendous brake squeel that developed). I really thought I made a mistake buying carbon rims. But these Kool Stop pads changed my outlook completely. I can now do descents with confidence. I've used them for training and racing (in both dry and rain conditions). And the awful squeel is gone! So it's a no brainer that I'm a repeat buyer of these pads.

I totally agree with the other reviewer. I thought I had made a mistake buying carbon rims. I had the same poor stopping power & squeek with the factory renyolds pads. I put these pads on and I stop with ease and no more squeek.
