I just ordered some Deore LX BR-M560 (edit, oops, 565!) cantilever brakes, and am hoping to find new replacement pads for the stock cartridges. I know that Kool Stop theoretically makes them, but they seem rare and hard to get. They seem to havee a 60mm long track and are a bit under 64mm in total length.
I have found some NOS on eBay but don't really want to replace old pads with old pads.
I am thinking that the Kool Stop Duras are 5 mm too short, but might still work. Or the Kool Stop V brake pads could be shortened...
Has anyone figured something out?
