    Like the title says, possibly stupid question, I'm about to make an order for a few things and want to buy a new set of pads while I'm at it as I'll be needing them in the not too distant future and I was wondering, canti breaks for cyclo/touring bikes, they are just the same as mtb canti's, right?
    They are cartridge pads, does it matter if they are canti specific cartridges?

    I actually feel like an idiot asking this, so please, keep the pointing and laughing to an absolute minimum...
    :o

    What bike do you have?
    Are they Shimano brakes?
    Post a photo of the original ones and someone will point you in the right direction. I'm no expert, but there does seem to be a few different types of pads
