tektro r536 pads

[magnatom]

Does anyone know what pads tekto r536 cantis take? I assume it is standard shimano, is that right?

Those aren't cantis; they're dual pivot calipers aren't they?

If they use cartridge pads then I'd go for koolstop salmon pads if I were you.

 

[magnatom]

Aye sorry, in my haste I wrote canti instead of calipers!

Are you taking about these?

I use koolstop dual compound pads on my hybrid, so I would be happy to keep using koolstops.

Those salmon Koolstops work with 536s as they're Shimano compatible. I have them in my 536s.

 

[jpembroke]

That's them. Sooper dooper pads and kind to your rims, too.

 

[magnatom]

Sorted. Many thanks.

Oh just a quicky, would I be best with the black compound? Most of my riding using these brakes will be dry weather, so would the salmon be overkill?

 

[jpembroke]

go salmon! You'll stand out as a true brake pad connoisseur.

and you'll be able to leap upstream on your bike.

No, go for the salmon pads - they're a softer compound.

Will do.
