This has been partly answered on another thread I posted, but let me delve more...
My bike has Universal Mod 125s and the pads, I've discovered, are considerably shortly than modern ones. So much so that even apparently short-ish modern pads won't clear the frame/forks except when the brakes are quite to the rim.
It's not the worst problem in the world, but it got me wondering:
1/ Have I got the wrong pads? If so, what should I get instead?
2/ Is the greater length of the new ones going to give me any problems?
