NOS brake blocks

Just bought some NOS 1978, 38 year old weinmann 500 brakes.

Do you think the stopping distance will be affected...at all...or will it still be measured in post codes? :D
 
I sincerely hope you are going to drill them out :)

Switch out the blocks for Kool Stop. They make several styles of direct Weinmann replacements and my personal experience is that they work very well.

Cheers, I'll give them a try...well once I get some wheels :D
 
My experience with the performance of Koolstop brake blocks is very good, too. The Weinmann compatable Koolstop salmon blocks are available from SYS Cycles, if you find them difficult to find.
