Campagnolo Brake Block - Single

Big Betty · Oct 5, 2011

I bought a brake set from ebay with only 3 brake blocks thinking it would be easy to pick up a spare. So far I have been unsuccessful and it is the last remaining item for me to acquire before I can take my new project out on the road.

Does anyone have a spare campy brake block they are tempted to sell.

I've included the pic below.

Thanks

I have a spare Campag Record brake pad you're welcome to, but I don't think I have any spare shoes. From your photo, it looks like those aren't Campag Record brake shoes, so you could just look for a similar fourth generic shoe. However, if you want the pad, just pm your address and I'll pop it in the post.

Hi Betty

Got your PM, and replied. The brakes are "genuine" Campagnolo Gran Sports. Both shoes and blocks are also genuine period Campagnolo. I might have 1 spare, will have to have a mooch for you. If I haven't got 1, I'll soon get you 1

Later my friend, yours Laz.

Ah yes, the Gran Sport. Should have spotted the adjuster barrels. Glad you're all sorted anyway.

Hi AM

GS is stamped right side of the brakes. Rivetted QR, domed nut, square shoes without guides

I just happen to have a few pair of these fitted to bikes so recognised them straight off

Nice to see you, take care, yours Laz.

Hi again Betty

Sorry, just completely tipped out my entire collection of stuff and there is no sign of that spare Gran Sport :-( Only found a pair of Super Record, a pair of Chorus, and a pair of Record, all no good to you. Perhaps someone in here can help ?

Alternative is use 2 non brands until your spare arrives. Later my friend, yours Laz.

Thanks to both of you for bothering to check for me.
I have just been fortunate to spot a listing for two brake blocks on ebay, so now I have a spare one.
It's all coming together.
