Anyone know where I can buy Kool Stop Salmons in Brisbane?

Looked online but not much info on local web sites.

Cheers

Try wiggle and chainreaction. I got my Kool Stop Pads from Wiggle.

Thanks for the reply Baalzamon I considered Wiggle and Chainreaction but after postage I might as well try to buy locally of possible.

I don't need anything else at the moment to make it cost effective to buy OS.

Try your LBS. Otherwise call the Australian distributor Cassons on 02 9684 1210 and they'll tell you who retails close to you.

Crumbs, sugar, frak and other tame expletives.... that much Lark, might as well as buy OS

Thanks for the reply, will go and have a look tomorrow, I bought some "Ashima" pads and holders locally looked pretty good these ones : http://www.this link is broken/p/cycle/7/Ashim ... 360043574/

they are crap, hardware is good quality but the pads are shocking no grip at all even in the dry.

need something for the wet with the weather we are having in Brisbane at the moment.

Thanks all, safe riding :)

Only just saw the post - I've been a KoolStop user for years. Even have the first ones I bought in 1982 still in use.

Cassons only import a few into Oz - their website will tell you which ones. I found Yellow Jersey cheaper than wiggle as I was after the Slimlines which don't come into Oz through Cassons.

And do they work. Anyway the rain has now gone for the summer.....

I bought some Koolstop Salmons from Epic just the other day. $15 for a set. The people there are really good, go check them out.
