Subject: [RBW] Replacement Cantilever Pad Choices
Greetings everyone .. I'm in
I'm using Tektro CR720s with both Kool Stop Mountain and Thinline
pads. The Mountain pad is much better for these brakes. In the
future, I will only use Thinlines with v-brakes. I believe the
Yokozuna pads have the same compound as Kool Stop.
How about Avid, Jagwire and Ritchey, all good pads
One more note: If you have only tried smooth-post brakes and pads,
definitely try the CR720s or the Cafams. With threaded-post pads, the
adjustment is completely and causes of squealing are completely
different and you might find that Kool Stop pads work better than all
others. Just a through.
Have had good luck with the Yokozuna pads. Both my Sam Hillborne and
my wife's bike have them right now. I want to say they are different
than Kool Stop as these are supposedly the old Mathauser compound.
Then again Jim Thill at Hiawatha Cyclery has had good luck with stock
