Hi
I have just bought a 1985 Peugeot tandem with all original fittings. The rim brakes are weinmann cantilever with black rubbers housed in quite wide ally blocks. Does anyone know a good source of rubber pads as I want to stick with the original look?
Thanks

Pads for weinmann cantilever brakes?
Re: Pads for weinmann cantilever brakes?
Kool stop make blocks that go into MAFAC holders, maybe others too. They are worth a look I guess.
But TBH the sensible thing to do is to get modern pads and holders; the post mount is standard across lots of brakes but the holder size wasn't, not back in the day.
If you really want pads to go into your holders, best to post a photo of your holders, with a scale marker. Someone may recognise them.

Fibrax make replacements for a variety of Weinmann brake pads, including many of those that come in an aluminium housing.
There is a thread here about brake pads for side pull Weinmann brakes that may give you some ideas viewtopic.php?f=5&t=87143

These look very similar to Weinmann type brake blocks. Fibrax tends to be decent quality. http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/produ ... Brake_Pads
