tech tip

I see lots of those TRP cross cantilevers out there.

With the muddy race conditions recently I am sure that there are lots of worn brake pads around.

You can spend $30 on a pair of replacement TRP pads.

Or, you can spend $8.25 on a pair of Kool-Stop Dura-Ace/Ultegra Replacement Brake Pad inserts.

Give your local bike shop QBP part # BR2155 (black, normal conditions) or #BR2157 (salmon, extreme wet conditions) if the shop does not have them in stock.

I tested the fit last night, it’s perfect.

    You transitioned from cross newbie to guru pretty quickly.

    They’re quieter too.
