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.

Those would work, but you want them in "salmon".

My wife's schwinn has those kind of calipers, we went with these pads 'cause they looked like the ones we were replacing:

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.
