Anybody know if there's good quality brake pads available to suit rod brakes that are used with old V-shaped rims on old roadsters. Apparently Fibrax stopped making them now, and the only ones I can source are a terrible Indian brand that can be broken with finger pressure.

I'd try Island Cycle Supply 800-627-6650. That's where I've bought rod brake pads in the past.
