V Brake Cartridge pads

Hi all

Thinking of purchasing a pair of ceramic rims, so am thinking I will need to change brake pads.

Does anyone know if these:

will fit XTR M952 V Brakes?

Not neded to purchase any for years n years so a little out of my depth

Help on this appreciated, many thanks!

Yep, should fit.

If you want a cheaper option, I found some new, unopened ceramic pads pretty much the same as the ones you pictured, but in green. I could do you two sets (Whole bike) for £10 posted.

Thanks for the advice and the offer, I'll pass on the green though as it just won't suit my build. Appreciate the offer though!

I remember having a set of the ceramic pads on my downhill bike in 1996. I had xtr v-brakes and a mavic 121 cermaic rim in the rear. Those ceramic pads feel like hard almost brittle plastic, they're a little noisy too.

Shimano ceramic pads work well, and are to be recommended for ceramic rims. Last well. (Running 517 ceramics with XTR 960 v's and have been since 2002)

If your brake pads are too noisy then you are either running non-ceramic pads on ceramics, or you need to toe your brakes in, or both.
