Need Help Installing Kool Stop Brake Pads on Dahon Speed Pro TT
I just picked up a spankin' new set of Kool Stop Brake pads (the all-weather variety road pad set, which includes the holders). Anyhoo, I got them home and was about to install them when I realized I had no idea which direction they go in. The Kool Stop pads I have are half black and half salmon colored. Does the salmon-colored part face forward? Or does the black part? I am clueless here....any help you can offer is much appreciated! We're having some wet weather here in the DC area and I want these installed by tomorrow morning so that I can ride.

Woohoo!! I got it right. I found this picture on the Kool Stop page and figured that the salmon colored must be towards the back. Strangely, the set that I got did not come with an arrow on the holder telling you which way to put it. I put them on last night (with the salmon-colored part facing towards the back) and saw a HUGE difference in my wet commute this morning. I wish I had done this sooner.
Thanks!
Thanks!
