2013 Trek Madone aero brake pads help please
Hello cult of bikeforums,
I an currently working on a 2013 Trek Madone 5.2 and need to replace the Brake Pads that are shot and pad removal bolt is stripped. I cant find aero brake pads that do not have that Fin on the middle on ebay or amazon.
can someone chime in .
Recap :2013 Trek Madone with integrated brake calipers. Caliper is neatly molded into the frame. Looking for recommendations on brake pads that come with the housing.

First off you may be able to remove the pad set screws with a torx wrench as it can grab a stripped Allen head. If no luck, KoolStop for one sells a version of the Shimano holders without the fin. Dura 2 Triplelite Threaded – KOOLSTOP in black or silver and I'm sure there are others available from various sellers.

Or you can buy new rubber pad cartridges already inside the holders. SRAM, Shimano, Bontrager, or Jagwire will work.
