Bump. Yeah, I know the thread is almost four years old, but the brakes in question are way older.

So, who uses Resilion brakes now? [MENTION=110794]Dawes-man[/MENTION], [MENTION=209894]Velognome[/MENTION]... anyone else?

I finally got my hands on a good complete set, and want to replace the brake pads. The original pads are intact, and work pretty well considering their age (75 ears old?). I put Kool-Stop V-pull pads in the front shoes, but need something thicker for the rear. Has anyone else done this? What did you use?
