KoolStop question

[Browser]

After reading raves about them on here I've bought a pair for the Tif, which uses Miche caliper brakes. Id've bought two but Chain Reaction were out of stock of the Salmons, so I just got a black pair for the rear wheel.
The pair I ordered were Supra 2's which I was under the impression would fit my road calipers OK, but they look rather bulky with their vee-brake-type adjusting cups. Have I cocked up and if so, which ones will fit please?

If by "vee brake type adjusting cups" you mean the convex and concave washers, they are present on Shimano calliper brakes too. I've no experience of Miche brakes so I have no idea whether they use them, but I can see no reason why the Supra 2's shouldn't fit. They are more bulky than say Shimano or Campy pads, but is that so important if they work?

V brake pads is what you've bought, those used to be called eagles I think

you want dura compatible koolstops like these for road brakes

Thanks for the replies gents.
Greg, Chain Reaction still stock KoolStop Eagles and to my eyes they look like they'll fit;

Chain Reaction are out of stock but others have them. Sorry for seeming to ignore advice but I've being a tightwad

Decided to stop being a tightwad and ordered some of the pads recommended by GregCollins, from ukbikestore.com. Look out for Browser flying over his drops anytime soon!
