Kool Stop Eagle II Cantilever Peg Pads

Advantages: Excellent performance in wet/muddy conditions, rim friendly, good wear rates
Disadvantages: Pricier than the competition

...This review is for the dual compound cartridge pads. They are black/salmon in colour. A bit of History The real secret of the Kool Stop's superior braking power is the salmon compound. Originally it was developed by Scott-Mathauser, and was recognised as the finest brake pads available, both for it's superior stopping power and durable compound.

Wait does that sound stupid, yes thought so but its the truth, when i was looking for some new pads i brought these pads not expecting anything, but that was were i was wrong. My luck has changed and i'm now not only bowling well but i'm actually being noticed as a batsman, and isn't that what everyone desires. With these amasing pads theres no need to worry if there's a fast bowler steaming in at the other end and your getting ready, hoping for the ball not to hit you on the pads because of the pain it will cause.............. then stop...
