Shimano M70/R pads

[Caelesaran]

Does anyone know where you can get replacement pads?

If nobody knows of any would people would be interested in a set? If so how many?

I need to know if it's worth while making an injection mould and making a batch

You can pick a new pair up for £5 ish on eBay.

Not worth the hassle to make some when they are easily available and also alternatives too.

I've looked on eBay and I can see loads of M70/R2 the ones with the pin used on V brakes for around that price not the M70/R the ones that have a screw used on Cantilevers.

They come up often and aren’t rare.

The V brake versions there are literally hundreds on eBay.

I bought a massive joblot of various XT / XTR pads for about £20 years ago.

The M70/R and M70/R2 are not compatible i have been looking and currently only a few pairs on eBay all the online shops have them as out of stock. Hence the reason I am asking if anyone would be interested.

Yes I understand they are different.

My comment is that M70/R are often on ebay for £5 and the M70R2 have hundreds available.

Nothing rare about either.

Please send me a link to one then as I have been searching for the last month and I haven't found any that aren't needing to be shipped from America and less than £20. I've only seen 3 adverts. The only others I can find are complete with the holders and are even more expensive.
