I am a little puzzled by the clip that gets shipped along
because Koolstop only has the set screw.


Those replace this Kool Stop product:

inserts:

If your setup does not include the little wire pins then
maybe, maybe
not. What is it that you have now?


They look like this but with the holes in the metal body:

You loosen the set screw and the pad slides out the back.
However, I don't want Koolstop stuff anymore. It's
expensive, the pads wear quickly and to top it off the
mounting hardware rusts fast. YGWYPF? I don't think so.



The EVO inserts you referenced earlier are the wrong part.

You probably want these:

Product menu in that link is easy to use.


Thanks. $10+ is a bit much for those but I saw them on EBay for $8. For
mixed-mode use would you recommend dry (black) or wet (salmon)? I
usually ride in dry weather but often get caught by rain and just plow
through. In the winter when it drizzles I just ride anyhow.

It doesn't matter -- both pads work fine in wet or dry weather. Get whatever KoolStop pad they have at Sam's Town Cyclery in Shingle Springs. It's right at the end of the trail. Support your local shop. Buy some bottles while you're at it. Quit complaining about $2.
