Got some 80s Weinmann canti brakes on a tourer but I can't find replacement pads anywhere. Standard unthreaded canti pads don't fit, their pegs are thinner. (at least the ones I bought were)
35mm X-type pads are easy to find, though, so I'm thinking of pushing the insert out of the open end of it's holder and pushing a new one in. I would imagine they are quite a tight fit so the holder might need "opening up" a little to simplify things.
Anyone done this with Weinmann blocks before? Seems pretty straightforward, in principle. :?
