Tektro RX1 60mm mini v-brake pad replacements
I have three new Giant CRX bikes (an Australian version of the US Giant FCR series). See photo below.
The bikes are equipped with TEKTRO RX1 Mini-V brakes. I want to buy a few sets of back-up brake pads for these brakes, but exact replacements are impossible to buy in Australia and there's nothing on eBay (pad is stamped "825 For Alloy"). The pads are 60mm pads with threaded posts, if that helps.
How do I go about buying pads with threaded posts that I can be SURE will work on my bikes?
Thanks for your comment!
P.S. I have read a few posts here where people say that Kool Stop pads are a better replacement.

The title "Tektro RX-1 85mm mini v-brakes" is kind of limiting. As I read the post only 11 people have read it. How about reposting and asking Replacement brake pad info, or something of the sort. You'll get more responses.
IMO, any threaded pad will work. Get a set with replacable pads though. Try Kool Stop. Good luck

Tried to change the title of this thread, but even though it lets you change the title, the actual title does not update. Must be a bug.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
Those brakes will take any standard threaded post V-brake/canti pads. Don't worry about an exact replacement, as the OEM Tektro pads aren't great. I run mini-V brakes on one of my bikes, and lost the stock pads in a hurry.
