Replacing Brake Blocks
I want to replace my 20 year old Ultegra rim brake blocks. I would think that they need it. They are not worn out, but hard. Should I stick with Shimano brand, or is there something better?
Thanks
Thanks

Kool-Stop make a good line of replacement blocks/pads as well as complete pad/holder assemblies; I have had good luck with their salmon compound.
