Fresh rim brake pads can help replace worn friction material and improve contact with the braking surface when the rest of the system is sound.
Choose a part that fits your bike
Check whether the brake uses threaded posts, smooth posts or cartridge inserts. Rim material and pad alignment also affect the correct choice and installation.
Send John a photo of the part, its markings or your bike. He can help check the details before you decide what to buy.
