Where can I find canti brake shoes for v-brake inserts?
Hi all,
I have a set of Shimano LX cantilevers of uncertain age. They have replaceable cartridge pads, but unfortunately I'm told that the right sized replacement pads are no longer made. Does anyone know where I can buy cantilever brake shoes (smooth stem) that will take v-brake pad inserts? I'd like to be able to use the replaceable v-brake pads cause they tend to be the cheapest for a given quality level, and it would hopefully make replacing the pads easier. If anyone knows a source, please let me know. Thanks! Dan Lenski |

Interesting, but not exactly what you asked for. http://www.koolstop.com/brakes/ I don't know if Quik Claw replacement pads are available... they don't appear on the page, but I'd be surprised if you can't buy them seperately. Another thought: the big, fat pads your brakes use tend to last a long time. Considering longevity, I doubt cartridge v-brake pads would be more economical. -Vee |

Thanks, Vee! Hadn't seen those. I'll have to figure out where I can buy 'em... Another thought: the big, fat pads your brakes use tend to last a long time.
