Supply and demand and all that, but you'd think Kool Stop would make more of them and get them out there where folks can buy them!

Oh, and Harris Cyclery carries them, that's another place you can find them-
That's the frustrating part. The overwhelming pad of choice on this forum seems to be Kool Stops, and I can't buy them at any of my LBSs -- not too smart of a business strategy, IMO. All my LBS's have sipped the Shimano kool-aid when it comes to brake pads.
