Admittedly newbie question but...

I have currently got these brake shoes installed on my bike: http://www.cyclesurgery.com/79/Aztec-Ca ... ystem.html

I have noticed that Aztec's own brand inserts are more expensive than some other brands and basically want to know if these Aztec shoes will take inserts from other suppliers. From what I understand, the Aztec shoes are compatible with all Shimano compatible brake inserts, but I may be wrong.

Price is my main guide so I have been looking at:

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=2955 or
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Ashim ... 360043571/

However, if anyone can suggest any alternatives or make a good case as to why my inexpensive commuter hybrid justifies more expensive brake inserts, I am all ears!

Thanks.

    The inserts you've linked to should fit, there might be small differences in size, less than 0.1mm, that make insertion a little tight but nothing to stop them sliding in with a bit of effort.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
