I am feeling a little slow for not being able to figure out the right replacement brake pads for these New Gran Comp 500 brakes on my Trek 715. Can anyone recommend some? Maybe Koolstops? Thanks!

Old thread, but no one answered and this turns up on Google.

The stock pad holders are the same dissensions as the Suntour Superbe holders. The Koolstop part number is KS-SBSA. You’ll need to reuse the holders.

Since this is brought back to life, How do the Gran Comps reach the rim on a 710? Mine won't
