There are a few places local you can get brake pads. You'll probably pay the same price as on-line but won't get stung for P&P (they are heavy little buggers).

You could always try that little trick of putting your pads in the wrong way round to save on wear

Yup. I've used them before too. Good service with a wide range of stuff. IIRC, it's run by Paul Smeeton that used to be one of the LC250/350 specialist parts suppliers back in the day.stitch82 wrote:Ebay seller bitź4bikes.....a few others. Never had problems with tge main sellers

I was going to comment that brake pads aren't the most difficult thing to replace but previous experience of this forum demonstrates they're sometimes best fitted by someone else. Anyone else.

If you use you bike thru winter, often some of the pins can take a bit of encouragement to removeDickie wrote:I was going to comment that brake pads aren't the most difficult thing to replace but previous experience of this forum demonstrates they're sometimes best fitted by someone else.
