This brings up something- how many different variations of the finned shoe are there?
I see the "crude" non-finned aluminum shoe, I see the finned shoe with the pad bonded and then I see these black shoes that the pad seems to slide in.
I guess I'm wondering if the Yokozuna shoes are their own thing or reproductions of the last variant of the Scott/Mathauser Superbrake shoe. Or if the "Superbrake" name was for the black finned shoe with the replaceable pad.
The aluminum, threadless canti finned type
Aluminum threaded caliper type
The "crude" non-finned threadless aluminum type
The "crude" non-finned threaded aluminum type
Then the black threaded and threadless finned pads- listed as "Superbrake" on the BikePro page
