Hey All,
I need to replace the front and rear break pads of my Tektro Oryx brakes but after a google and quick read through various threads I am more confused than enlightened. My Ridgeback Voyage has Tektro 992AG brakes at the front and rear and it looks as if it is possible to slide out the pad (the rubber bit) and replace it.
What would be replacement pads that fit and are of similar quality? I found these ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kool-stop-v-bra ... f-inserts/) but am not sure they are what I need. Are there different sizes?
A link to suitable replacement pads would be appreciated!
Thanks

Or the Tektro ones are slightly cheaper on ChainReaction:

I have Oryx 922s on my tourer and have never had any problems with Tektro pads although i use the disposable ones:

Thanks for the replies.
FYI, I went for the Tektro pads from ChainReaction but they seem to wear down very fast. I have only had them for three weeks and they are noticeable slimmer without any long tours etc, the pads that came with the bike lasted a lot longer. I now ordered Kool Stops to see if they are any better.0
