Hi people,
Recently dug my old MTB out of the shed, got it circa 1995. I've cleaned it up, got some new tyres for it and got it up and running again.
My problem is - it doesn't stop, I'm guessing its because the pads are 15 years old at least.
The brakes are Suntour XC Expert Cantilever brakes so I'm looking to get a new set of pads to replace the old ones.
I'm completely new to where and how easy it is to get these sorts of pads (all the MTB's I see nowadays have disc brakes)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
They are these sort of brake pads.
