I don't see why not. Wooden brake blocks work for steam traction engines.
Not sure
"no that wooden work unless it was a steam traction engine"
has quite the same impact
but if you want to try them on you carbon framed bike - please let us know the result
when they appear in the TdF next year we will know who owns the patent!!! ;-)

The string holding the rear one would burn through and they would fall off 😏 needs a groove similar to the front block.

I've just realised this a Peugeot 205 with the Bendix callipers. I knew it looked familiar when I seen it.

A Mother had 3 virgin daughters. They were all getting married within a short time period. Because Mom was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started, she made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on how marital sex felt.
The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but "Nescafe." Mom was puzzled at first, but then went to the kitchen and got out the Nescafe jar. It said: "Good till the last drop." Mom blushed but was pleased for her daughter.
The second girl sent the card from Vermont a week after the wedding, and the card read: "Benson&Hedges". Mom now knew to go straight to her husband's cigarettes, and she read from the Benson&Hedges pack: "Extra Long King Size." She was again slightly embarrassed but still happy for her daughter.
The third girl left for her honeymoon in the Caribbean. Mom waited for a week, nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. Then after a whole month, a card finally arrived. Written on it with shaky handwriting were the words: "British Airways". Mom took out her latest Harper's Bazaar magazine, flipped through the pages fearing the worst, and finally found the ad for the airline. The ad said: "Three times a day, seven days a week, both ways."
Mom fainted.

I've seen something very similar, I think it was in Sainsburys, in Wakefield. & thought it said what it appears to do here
