WorldIRC,
I believe you are right about the way that you set them up.....At least that is the way that I have always set them up.

That "little pointing thing" is the front of the pad, and touches the rim in front of the rest of the pad. It cleans grit and water off the rim before it gets squeezed, perhaps scoring the rim.
Now, since we are at the top of the rim, the tire moves backword, so the "tip" must face rearword, from where the rim is moving.
Short answer, You got it right. But now there will be arguments.

I concur. The long side points toward the rear. I consider KoolStops mandatory on older, lower-leverage brakes, such as Campy Records.

Does Kool Stop make a Dura-Ace / Ultegra replacement pad? I'm really not pleased with my DA pads, and would love to replace them with something that may have a chance stopping me.

i believe the Kool Stop Eagle pads are made for cantilever brakes which means the pads may fit. dont get thinlines tho those are V try the eagles for cantilever may be compatible with side pull or ubrake

i got these ultegra break pads installed on my 5200 i told the shop machanic it felt too soft. latley when going fast it takes forever to stop comming down a hill i saw someone needing assistance and wasnt able to stop in time to help had to turn arround and pedal up hill toget to them. Seems there is some issue with these pads I cleaned the break surface of the rims (rolf vectors) helped a little but i definatly dont like them after reading this thread I am ready to try some kool stops anything has got to be better than what i got

Catfish, I think ultegra and dura-ace pads are the same model / pad. I too am using them with rolf vector pro's. I'll let you know how the kool stops work once i find a source to order from.

Kool Stop makes replacement inserts for Campy and Dura/Ultegra shoes in the brick red compound. Check Sheldon's page for info.

i'm not too familiar w/ the roadie stuff, but have you guys tried running ceramic coated rims and pads for your bikes? This combo is amazing for braking. I'm running Mavic CrossMax wheels (same weight as Heliums i believe) w/ Koolstop ceramic pads on XTR vbrakes.

Nice, I ended up with a 2nd pair of Dura-Ace pads, and some Ritchy Logic pads. Im currently using the the dura-ace pads, 500 miles and going strong. Kool-Stop makes the richy pads, im expecting good things from them.
