Brake pads

[Jeff D.]

What would be a good brake pad for a v-brake that is relatively cheap. Twenty bucks max but would like to go for less. The rims are not ground and I do not have any tools to grind with so for me that is not an option.

Thanks in advance

its hard to find good brake pads for under 20... Are u talkin in USD or in CND. if in canadian the cheapest v-brake pad is spanish v-flys. they are like 23 bucks a pair.

[Jeff D.]

I was talking about USD. I found plazmatic pads for 20 but I don't know if I need to grind my rims for them.

get coolstops or plaz, i think v-fly's are 15 at www.webcyclery.com

Ive had good luck with koolstop salmons. I payed $14 for a set. I use a groung rim though.

i use koolstops right now.. they do me well.. but i do need tar.. so that = gayness..

[Jeff D.]

Thanks for all the help I will probably pick up a pack of kool stops than.

Wait what kool stop did you get the thinlines or the the eagles and will plaz work without a ground rim.

plaz should work w/o a ground/tar rim, but works best with one, my grind isnt even fresh but it still stops solid

Grind and Aztec V pads are a soft cheap pad for $11 Can at your local bike shop they also last almost an entire season. My friend has some without a grind and they still stop solid without tar

Koolstop thinlines salmon, i think they just stopped making them so good luck finding a set.

i use salmon bmx pads on my stock now, they work good.
