What does everyone use to replace the inserts in old campag brakes?
Is there a modern alternative or do I have to hunt down some originals?
Cheers

Interested in hearing a result for this. The new style cartridge pads have bigger posts, and dont appear to fit in the calipers of early model brakes (Shimano and DiaCompe too).
Kool stop make inserts
Thanks Blakey, found these Kool Stop International - High Performance Bicycle Brake Pads Since 1977
Dumb Question: My current ones are 35mm and the site says they are 40mm. So you trim them to size like a car wiper blade?
yeah, trim, they’re the same mould as the MAFAC ones I think.
yes. trim as necessary.
the MAFAC ones look like lego blocks (raised circles on top), while the ones linked are just flat.
OK sweet, will order some now
Cheers fellas
