We all fiddle around with old bikes and old bits and pieces of bikes and there are some remarkable instances of members renovating all kinds of parts. I've got a couple of pairs of STX RC and LX 537 canti brakes which have the silver cartridge type of shoe which takes a slide in pad. The pads have hardened to the point that they are unusable and even the lightest touch of the blocks on the rime elicits an awful sound similar to sandpaper on metal. There's plenty of life left in the blocks and I wonder if there's any way of
returning them to a usable condition. Thanks.
