A shining example of CC helping people, helped me, I also bought a set plus black pads from DotBike, my Secteur is reserved just waiting for my C2W voucher to show up, some time this year.
I like 'em - position them once, and that's it, just slide worn cartridges out, and new ones in. I'll take a little less longevity for that... Have to say, I do like the Shimano compound too (the wet/dry one they do) although it seems less kind to rims than the Koolstop or fibrax.
Finally got a chance to get the Secteur out in the dry today. A very pleasant 30 miler from Kilwinning up the back roads to Glasgow. Then I let the train do the hard work into the wind . The KoolStops are definitely a big improvement over the originals when it comes to stopping power, and sound much more rim friendly too.
Not such a huge difference as was the case with the Tricross. The standard pads on that were truly useless!
When I picked up my second hand tricross the brakes were really poor, mainly due to the rims being worn away. A change of rims and "borrowing" the brake blocks from my bros commuter improved things alot.
I have just put some kool stop tectonics on, not yet bedded in, but still an improvement.
