Kool-Stop

Kool-Stop International Inc. was started back in 1978, in Oregon USA.  While making friction components for industrial applications, the owner Richard Everett, began supplying a few compounds to the bicycle industry.  After creating the first bicycle brake pad that had an internal frame and an air cooled heat sink, the small garage based company started to build a name for itself.

The international growth of the Kool-Stop name has carved out a niche in the market for quality brake pads in all areas of the cycling industry.

Kool-Stop Europe, the European office, is based in the Netherlands and carries a large stock of all models of brake pads and disc brake pads. Stock is flown in every week and distributors receive their orders within 2 to 4 days after placing them.

Kool-Stop has even established itself in the virtual world Second Life. On an island we created Kool-Stop country. Here you can ride MTB’s and racing bicycles on a tricky mountain trail and a road race circuit.
