Best alternative brake pads for old Skyway Tuffs

(1/3) > >>

delbert:
Good afternoon

I am looking for some brake pads for use on my old Black Tuff wheels and it is clear these are out of scope of my funds, therefor I am desperately seeking (Susan) errr I mean some modern alternatives.

I have seen both on here and elsewhere that Koolstops are a great choice but am undecided on the models to choose because of the compound issues so was hoping to gage your expert opinion.

The brakes I am using are as follows.
Rear - Dia-Compe XCE center pull caliper, this looks like it will accept normal threaded pads.
Front - inverted Diacompe 901

I would really appreciate any replies with suggestions for what brake pads to use on my old black Skyway Tuffs?


Regards
Simon.

also i find the old Diacomp pads are good as well  :daumenhoch:

Del:
kool stop continentals
Kool stop eagle 2's
Vans
standard DiaCompe pads

All these work well.
