Shimano caliper brake block question

grilla · Feb 4, 2013

Hi everyone

I'm running a pair of Shimano 6401 brake calipers - same as these -

I need to replace the brake blocks, just wondering whether anyone has experience of this, and more specifically, whether these blocks from wiggle will fit?

They look identical to me, but seeing as they are branded as Ultegra, and my calipers are pre-Ultegra (albeit only just) I wanted to double check before hitting 'buy'!

Cheers

My LBS tells me that these style blocks are still available as a Shimano spare.

sorry for butting into this post but are those cable adjuster barrels standard that can be used on any make/model pair?

Those blocks in the wiggle link should fit fine (they look like the originals), and I think most other types would be OK too - the ultegra calipers don't have a different design or need a special pad/holder.

Thanks for the reply, these will be going on the dura ace 7402, that be ok?

Great, I'll give them a go. Cheers for the replies guys!

CRC have 6400 pads in stock, i've recently bought a few sets. £6.99 a pair i think?
