threaded canti brake blocks - koolstop

Post by mig »

the winter bike will have a service at weekend in preparation for the commuting slog through the rain (where did the summer go?) and i'll need some threaded type blacks for it. it usually runs koolstop salmon but these seem hard to source or very pricey.

are there any alternatives out there that do the job? or better to bite the bullet and order the koolstops? i have had some clarks (all black) blocks a few years ago that lasted maybe 150 road miles so am looking to avoid other cheese type blocks such as these.

thanks

Koolstop pads in holders about £20 from Spa- after that just change the pads
