old school xc style - '93 Bianchi with canti brakes.
Bottom Line:
As with all Kool Stop products, you can't go wrong. I feel they make the best pads around. These used to be available in a smooth post version too. I don't know if they still are, but those are perfect for old canti brakes. Set up is a snap with these, just get them lined up with the rim, give them about a card stock's width of toe, and enjoy great squeal free stopping power.
