Does anyone have one spare? It's the cartridge kind that a SwissStop pad will fit in.

One of mine has a mashed bolt, so can't get the old pad out. I don't really wanna shell out £18 or whatever Shimano want these days if I can grab a spare from someone.

Will pay you/ buy you some beers/trade it for other miscellaneous small parts.

Cheers,

Drill the bolt out?

Could also just cut the pad out I guess.

If you had ever seen me use a drill you would understand why that isn't an option hahaa.

I normally yell at mine until the pad comes out. Not everyone is as persuasive. Fair.

I probably have what you need but it's in storage so you're more likely to find someone else with some. You can find cheaper alternatives to Shimano and SwissStop though. I have some on my bikes I just can't remember the brand. A-something?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
