Silly question time

nick1972

I know this is a silly question but how do I know which brake blocks will fit my bike?

Take the old one with you to the LBS and say "one of them please". :-)

Failing that stick a photo on here and we can mock...sorry I mean advise.

What calipers do you have?

Thanks Smidsy. My calipers are Shimano Tektro R317 57mm deep-drop.

Shimano fitment cartridge pads is what you need.

Does not have to be shimano but they need to be shimano fit. You can get just the rubber bit, which slides into the metal holder.
