Yesterday I was bouncing all over the internet looking for information about my KHS "ATB". It has been sitting here & there in my garage for the last five years with two flat tires (and always seems to be in my way). Couple of times I almost thought of getting rid of it, but (thankfully) I did not succumb to such thoughts. In any event, having purchased the cycle almost 30 years ago new (and paying a rather princely sum for it at the time, too!), I decided to evaluate, clean & repair/replace whatever was needed to get it back in order. First off, the OEM tires were rotting, so both them & the tubes were replaced. Everything else (other than being dirty) looked pretty much OK. However, cracking & hard surfaces were apparent on some of the brake pads. I also cleaned both the frame and just about everything else. I started to look on sites like Ebay for replacement brake pads, but can't find any references to my specific cantilever (BR MT82) brake sets or the pads (Shimano Deore Low Profile SS). Seems components for a three-decade old MB are akin to looking for rare fossils. Thankfully I may have found a work-around on Ebay. Anyway, I am hopeful the Forum will be a good resource to find such parts and sage advice as well. . BTW, it is a KHS "Oversized" 21 inch Montana Pro "Richey" attributed (color optic-yellow).
