deore lx brake cartridge replacement?
I need to replace the brake shoes on a pair of deore lx cantilever brakes. I don't know the model, though they were the common black anodized ones with the cartridge pads. Does anyone know where I can source replacements? Or would I be better off just scraping the cartridge system and buying a set of regular posts?

No, refill pads are readily available for these brakes and your LBS should have them. Get Kool Stop Salmons if you can. They should take the same pads as most Shimano and Avid "V-brakes".
