I have a 2004 Trek 1500 which came with no name dual pivot brakes. I would like to replace the brake pads and shoes (if necessary) with KoolStop brand parts. Does anybody know what size or model number brake pads I would need to do this? I've done some internet searches and have come up with nothing.

They have a set that looks like the Ultegra holders, and the shoes are replaceable. Here is a link from Sheldon Brown's site, with photo: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/brakeshoes.html#duraholder

Smart move!
