Help me identify which kool stops to order
I want to order some kool stop pads for one of my bikes. Problem is I'm at work and want to order them now - don't have my bike here and I'm not 100% sure what I need to order.
The bike is an old Schwinn Sprint. A little research about different brake types and my memory leads me to believe that it has single pivot side-pull caliper brakes. Would that probably be what was placed on those old Schwinn Sprints?
So this is what I'd guess I need, but I'm just not sure.

Any help would be appreciated - I'd really like to place an order this morning.

Tangentially, do their dual-compound pads really help w/ the squeal? I have all salmons on mine and they do have dual-compound option for that flavor. I definitely get more squeal than I want, but it can be burnt through w/o too too much trouble.
