105SC brake upgrade comedy
Thought I'd try and update a set of BR-1055 dual-pivot calipers with a set of Kool-Stop Dura Type pad holders and salmon inserts. I noticed that tightening things down was abnormally difficult, and that the pad holder still had play when the bolt was snugged tight. So, after stripping the bolt head entirely, I went back to measure the old pad's post diameter at 6.0mm, and the Dura Type post diameter at 6.5mm.
So, I take it that modern Shimano Dura Ace and Ultegra brake pad posts have increased in diameter by 0.5mm since the early-mid 90's? I was hoping to be able to run Salmon inserts - does Kool-Stop make other pads in the correct diameter?

Can you just file out the slot on the brake arm?
