  • Is there a difference between cantilever brake pads and v-brake brake pads?

    I think I have some v-brake pads(?). Can I use them on cantilever brakes?

  • Is there a difference between cantilever brake pads and v-brake brake pads?

    Sometimes. Traditional cantilevers often use road brake sized pad, and shoes to suit. Some cantilevers, on the other hand, make a virtue of using the much longer MTB pads in appropriate shoes. You can't (or at least shouldn't) put MTB pads in road shoes or vice versa, but whether you use road or MTB pad/shoe assemblies in your brakes is a matter of personal preference, as long as they don't hit anything they shouldn't.
