Hey guys,

Haven't posted much on here lately, but looking forward to posting some pics of my mezzo being used in morning and evening journeys through london....

Got a question about pads. The bike has dual pivot brakes, I won't to buy koolstops, will these be ok?

or these?

They say they're for cantilever brakes, but they look (specially the second one) exactly the same as mine which fit on a dual pivot system!

Any ideas??

Many thanks

I have the first pair which work well on the mezzo. I find however that the "toe in"shape does not work as well on the rear so I use "swiss stop" on the rear. I know I have mentioned it before but telfon coated cables will also result in a big improvement.

My Mezzo I-4 has the stock pads that it came with. They leave much to be desired. Please post how your new pads are working, and the ones you end up with.
