New brake blocks needed

spasypaddy

My cannondale is going in for a service next week and im sure its going to need new brake blocks but it will obviously be cheaper to get them off the net so what brake blocks do i need?

Its got the cannondale delta brakes, and this is my bike:

Aztec dual compund pads are great, especially in the winter when it gets wet. I believe Wiggle sell them.

will they fit in my block holders?

il_principe

mmm not sure, they fit my Ultegra holders so I'd imagine they'd be fine.

ok one more question, bit more personal now... why are you selling your dream machine!?

il_principe

So I can afford to buy a proper dream machine... a Pinarello Prince. Sold the Wilier on monday.

Can anyone tell me whether I need Shimano or Campag repalcement pads for a set of Tektro RX40 calipers.

I'm running 2006/7 deep drop Tektros, though I'm not sure which ones.
I bought Shimano blocks with the shoes - Swissstop - Awesome.

If you buy the Shimano shoed Swissstops from Wiggle, they're only a few quid more than without the shoes.

I'm led to believe that Tektros are essentially Shimano copies, and that the diff. between Campag. shoes and Shimano shoes is the bolt length - can anyone confirm this?

Anyhow, the Shimano shoes fit my Tektros, and therefore by proxy, Shimano blocks.
