    I don't know if you'd be able to use these tbh (anyone else know? looks like it should be possible):

    Although it looks like you have these:

    or here:

    Would Koolstop Slamons (pink) work with these calipers?

    Hmmm, I don't *think* so from looking at them. Might be worth asking the question on the Wiggle site though.

    You could do what I have done and get some new blocks and then get some Kool stop salmon blocks to go in them as they have had very good reviews on here.

    Just waiting for my kool stops to turn up. :wink:

    Shimano compatible blocks and pads like these will do the job.

    I think ive been a complete numpty and misunderstood your post

    ordered some of them pads but did i need the new blocks aswell or should they fit mine??

    Hopefully if i order some new blocks tomo they will get sent with my other stuff.

    as i say i have realised my back break pads are nearly completely dead, might swop the front ones over just for now so got at least some stopping power and i dont kill the rim on my wheel

    Which blocks do you have?

    Like A or B

    If you have B, you will need new block with inserts and can get them with the Kool stop pads in like these but if you just need pads, get the ones from the link above.

    Hope that cleared it up for you :)
