Which brake cartridge???

[Jaye]

This is the bike I need replacement pads for http://www.evanscycl...%20sport%202010

And I dont have a clue what I need

I know this should be a relatively straightforward purchase but their seems to be so many different types and sizes of pads that I have been reduced to head scratching! I dont need anything fancy/multicolored.

I also assume these are a piece of p@*$ even for a dope like me to fit?

Thanks in advance people.

I'm not sure what 'mini-V' brakes are, but normal V brakes are incredibly easy to fit. Just unhook the curved metal guide (the V I suppose) and the blocks will move away from the rim. Tell the LBS what brakes you have and they tell you which blocks will fit. Should be able to get them anywhere.

Thanks RB - I was struggling to find the time to get to my LBS hence the question here. I managed to make some time today and have super sharp braking again

mini vees are just the same as standard but the arms are shorter.
