[RBW] Re: "yoko" salmon brakepads?
Kool stop made Mathauser pads for them. The kool stop formula is as OG as it gets. Dura II pads are awesome. I upgrade Paul brakes with those all the time.

It might just be me but I like the feel of the Yoko pads better than Kool Stop. Kool Stop is easier to find but the Yoko pads are made with the original Matthauser formula which was bought and licensed by Scott. I've always liked Matthauser pads and just stick with them. I find the Yoko's on Amazon if nobody else has them in stock.

Yes, the 559s are Shimano compatible. Kool-Stop Salmon pads (Part no. KS-DURASA) fit and work just fine in 559s. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Yokozuna makes a variety of salmon pads -- Riv sells some, but it does not appear they have the smaller cartridge pads right now. I'm pretty sure the 559s use Shimano-compatible pad holders, but am not positive. Here's Yokozuna USA's website page with pad inserts for caliper brakes: http://tinyurl.com/y5zk79ax They're also available from a variety of other online sources, or if you're really lucky, your LBS.
