Yes. I've bought several sets from the same seller. They are what you need for those holders. I used them on my Super Sport. They work well.

It looks like your brakes take the same size pad as NR/SR brakes. If so, they'll fit.
I just bought a set of genuine Scott/Mathauser pads. As far as I can tell' they're exactly the same thing. I was afraid that they might be dried out, but they perform just like the Kool Stops.

Congratulations on your "retro" purchase of the Scott Mathausers. I still have a set from 1982. They still work just fine. Back in the day, a full set cost $20.00. So you likely got quite a bargain - factoring in inflation. And they are just like Kool Stop - which is what they became, at least regards the salmon pads.

I bought a set of size M Scott/Mathausers on eBay. It says type M on the packaging and there is an M molded in the pad. They're supposed to fit Mafac holders, but they are too short, just like the Kool Stops and the type C and type W Scott/Mathausers. What's up with that?

Someone beat me to them. Am I right in assuming the black ones will work fine or should I hold out for the salmon?
