My brake bin is still full:foo:

wait... we're allowed to discard stuff??!!

That opens up a whole new world of possibilities! ;)

The downside of getting rid of old stuff is that you now have room to go out and buy new stuff. I'm not sure if that's good or not.
My old stuff is not suitable for tossing in the bin (mostly), so I'd have to go to the trouble of selling it... or buying a frame suitable for mounting those Campy Monoplaner brakes that have been in my parts box for so long.

Where do you purchase replacement pads inserts?

Kool Stop, always Kool Stop or SwissStop for more modern stuff.

Turns out those rock hard 4 dot Weinmann brake blocks were not suitable for the bin. They were of some use by a BF member.

Toss the blocks that are old enough to vote and save the holders- I really don't like the modern steel holders...
