another brake pad topic (Read 1061 times)

aikigreg Moderator recumbent ninja Posts: 3685	another brake pad topic May 15^th, 2008, 10:44pm Ok, so I want to replace the brake pads that came with the tica. How do I know what size to replace them with? Far as I can tell, the bram's brake is the same as a dura-ace. I want a very strong pad - possible the kool-stop salmon although it's supposed to be for wet weather. how can I find my size?

seems to be. The pads listed on the M5 website for the brakes are corima and dura-ace. They seem like the exact same brakes that came on my upright racer.

...I've never kept a bike long enough to need to worry about changing brake pads before Grin
