Kool-Stop DURA 2 Replacement Pad Insert, For Carbon Fiber (#2 - Hard)

Kool-Stop DURA 2 Replacement Pad Inserts for Carbon Fiber (#2 Hard Compound) are designed for road cyclists seeking reliable braking performance, improved durability, and confident control on carbon fiber wheelsets. Engineered specifically for carbon braking surfaces, these premium brake pad inserts provide stable stopping power and dependable modulation during high-speed descents, long-distance rides, and demanding road conditions.

The DURA 2 design features a thicker brake pad profile than standard Dura inserts for extended service life and improved wear resistance. The #2 Hard compound is optimized for riders who prioritize enhanced durability and consistent braking efficiency under higher heat and aggressive riding conditions. With a narrow 7.65 mm contact width, these inserts are ideal for modern narrow road rims, while integrated cut-outs help reduce unnecessary weight without compromising performance.

Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, TRP, and Tektro brake pad holders using a set screw system, Kool-Stop DURA 2 Hard Compound Inserts offer secure fitment and easy replacement for performance road bikes and carbon wheel applications.
