Title: Which brake blocks?
Post by: griff on March 20, 2015, 11:10 AM: Looking for brake blocks for my cruiser build, need to look old school but don't necessarily have to be OG
Important thing is I'm only running one brake, so they need to work! (on alloy rims)

Any recommendations? So far these are looking like my best bet http://www.porkchopbmx.com/Dia-Compe-reissue-old-school-BMX-bicycle-brake-pad-PAIR-SALMON-1007632.htm

Also the old black DC pads which I think came on Nippons! They are pretty good on Tuffs. :-\
