4 LEATHER FACED WET WEATHER BRAKE BLOCKS FOR STEEL RIMS CANTI V BRAKE NOS

These were designed to improve wet weather braking on steel rims , invented just before the new British Standards came in back in the 80s , because normal brake shoes would not pass the strict brake test for BS1602/1on steel rims in the wet
These are ideal for all weather riding especially in the wet but ONLY for use on steel rims.

LEATHER FACE BLOCKS ARE USED WITH STEEL RIMS TO IMPROVE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN THE WET,
ALL MANUFACTURERS USED THESE THROUGHOUT THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES ON ALL THEIR MOUNTAIN BIKES THAT HAD STEEL RIMS
THESE WILL SUIT ALL TYPES OF BIKES WITH V OR CANTI-BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT USE THIS PEG STYLE BRAKE BLOCKS
THE PEG (OR SHAFT AS SOME PEOPLE CALL IT) OF THESE BRAKE BLOCKS ARE KNURLED SO YOU CAN GET THEM EXTRA TIGHT TO STOP ANY MOVEMENT UNDER EXTREME BREAKING .
BLOCK LENGTH - 45MM
EVERYONE THAT IS RIDING A STEEL RIM BIKE WITH CALIPER BRAKES SHOULD FIT THESE THE DIFFERENCE IS INCREDIBLE!
AS THESE ARE NEW OLD STOCK THEY MAY BE SLIGHTLY OFF COLOUR (TARNISHED) MOST ARE NOT BUT WE SELL THEM THAT WAY IN CASE
IF YOU HAVE STEEL RIMS BUT CALIPER SIDE OR CENTRE PULL BRAKES WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THESE , PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER LISTINGS OR ASK US

PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST NOT USE THESE ON ALLOY RIMS BECAUSE THEY WILL DAMAGE ALLOY RIMS
