Anyone know of some less expensive but useable--perhaps generic--brand of brake shoes? Link?
I never priced or studied them, but places like x-Mart or Sports Depot/Emporium/Chalet/Headquarters/Authority... may have low cost brake pads. Often they bear known cycling company names, like Bell or Schwinn. I'm sure they're not the most refined design or compound, but should work in non-aggressive applications.
