Brake Cam for Suntour XC Power
1) I need two of these for my 1985 Mt. Fuji Ltd. Restoration project.
Does anyone know where I can get some besides ebay ?
someone put some cobbled up aluminum ones on it !
2) what size brake pads do these things take, I was thinking of the Kool Stop dual compound pads ?
Thanks,
Eric

You can buy NOS brakes from Bikestash.com. I'd suggest that you contact him via the website and ask if he's got any cams.

The Kool Stops work great, I bought two brakes from bikestash and replaced the NOS pads immediately (they were not hardened, but they don't stop great.) I'm using the Eagle 2 pads, the Mountain pads are a bit too thin for my bike with 1.5" rims, but they'd probably be ok if you're using wider rims.

The roller cam 'third hand tool' is a must have. If you dont have the tool adjust the cable so the rollers are 33mm center to center.
