Deore Lx Cartridge (M65T)

Post by NATURAL ANKLING »

Hi,
I am struggling to find replacement pads for these :(
They are about 62-3 mm long. found an old post on internet forum and I gather that they don't make aftermarket ones.

On ebay are whole sets for £30 up, but I only want the cartridge pads, will of course accept aftermarket.
Numbers on the packet which they came in is M65T ,Fit for BR-M565, BR-MC33, code 8BA 9801, later is probably whole kit as that's whats on the box of four holders and pads.
M65T brings up a one part moulded assembly commoner gardener replacement canti pads / shoes whatever.
What numbers should I look for, do replacement pads exist, circa 1995.

Hi,
Found some OEM NOS ones at Mercian Cycles :)

Interesting on shimano doc it gives characteristics of performance and wear properties.

What happens if you use ceramic (is that coated rim?) specific pads on alu rims?

Swap out the pads and holders for Clarks CP522: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cla ... gLI-PD_BwE
Take standard V-brake inserts, lots to choose from next time around and the supplied sets are OK.
