A few installation tricks-
-When the pads arrive, sand the faces with 80 grit sand paper on a flat bench. Move the pads lengthwise along the sandpaper until the pad surface has fine sanding lines.
-Mind the "direction" arrows on the pads - they should point to the front of the wheels
- "Toeing" the pads is critical. The front of the pad must contact the rim first. I put a zip tie around the back of the pad and use that as an installation spacer. When I get the pads tight, I remove the zip tie and it's properly spaced (see photo).
-Clean the wheel rims with rubbing alcohol or Brake Kleen. Dirty rims = squeal.
If you follow those steps, these pads should work great. I initially skipped the sanding step and I regretted it because the pads squealed like a piglet. Once I sanded them, quiet ensued. Hope that helps!

Some other reviewers have had brake squeal issues with these pads so YMMV. They do need to be properly installed and toed-in which is always a pain point with canti brakes. But at least on my bike with my brakes, these work perfectly!
I have to mention that the wheel rims are pretty badly grooved from the old age-hardened black rubber pads and embedded grit, but these Kool Stop pads provide plenty of smooth stopping power.
These brakes are meant to replace side-pulls but advertised as compatible with V-brake applications. Trouble is that while they went on fine and work smoothly there's evidently less leverage available to really squeeze - and I had a couple of near misses towing trash bins down a slope - squeezing as hard as I could - no stopee! Happy ending after replacing the pads with these salmon-colored babies - I can stop on a dime with moderate, progressive gripping. Good luck to all!
