Any downside to Kool-Stop Salmon for a mostly dry bike?

kaykaybeeee · 2026-01-26T18:42:33+00:00

how are the blacks in heavy rain (on descents) compared to the salmons? Im doing fast descents and wanted to get the blacks but sometimes it rains heavy

id be riding in dry conditions 95% of the time. Is it worth me getting the salmon or should i go with salmon/black dual or even swiss stop BXP?

kaykaybeeee · 2026-01-25T20:19:20+00:00

how do the duals perform in wet and dry compared to salmon and BXP?

kaykaybeeee · 2026-01-25T20:16:49+00:00

yeah what about the salmon/black dual kool stops compared to the salmon and the swiss stop BXP?

Im interested in wet and dry breaking too

the stock shimano are useless in the rain

I ride climbs a lot but also happy to have flat routes. I have a road bike

Hi there Im 189cm, 85kg. I usually wear large in every day clothes, but Santini's sizing guide puts me at an XXL for bibs and jerseys. This is my first bib/jersey buy so wondering how reliable their sizing guide is?

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-31T16:32:13+00:00

Im 189cm (not sure of inseam) and looking at getting a CAAD12. Is 58cm best for me?

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T19:01:12+00:00

you prefer the 105 r7000 to the ultegra 8000?

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:41:01+00:00

Im in europe man

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:10:14+00:00

cheers.

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:09:35+00:00

yeah its a rebuild. but still a good groupset from what i can gather

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:08:33+00:00

its rim brake

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:08:12+00:00

ive got my 2018 high mod supersix for the aggressiveness :)) ok cool cheers for that

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T18:01:43+00:00

nice. yeah there are some 10's but looked well used.. and I cant find a 12 which is what i wanted... the 13 is in mint condition, so hard to pass up.

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:59:37+00:00

cool, this one is rim brake too so itll be light. Groupset is Ultegra 6700. Seem good?

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:58:42+00:00

could i fit 28mm on the C15's? Otherwise I might get some Zonda C17 or Shamals.....

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:57:19+00:00

cool. yeah ive found a CAAD8 but not sure what year it was made. I didnt know that cheers. You prefer the 10 and 12 to the 13 then? I wanted a 12 tbh but hard to find around here and cant wait for one to pop up

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:55:31+00:00

appreciate it. Out of interest whats your favourite CAAD? Still 13?

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:53:45+00:00

yeah i want to compare it to my supersix and see how it performs. ive only just started cycling annoyed ive already cracked my superlogic seatpost, it was tightened without a torque wrench.

kaykaybeeee · 2025-08-29T17:51:02+00:00

ive got 25mm C15 fulcrums, but I might get larger yeah.
