4 LEATHER FACED WET WEATHER BRAKE BLOCKS FOR STEEL RIMS CANTI V BRAKE NOS

These were designed to improve wet weather braking on steel rims , invented just before the new British Standards came in back in the 80s , because normal brake shoes would not pass the strict brake test for BS1602/1on steel rims in the wet
These  are ideal for all weather riding especially in the wet but ONLY for use on steel rims.

• LEATHER FACE BLOCKS ARE USED WITH STEEL RIMS TO IMPROVE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN THE WET,
• ALL MANUFACTURERS USED THESE THROUGHOUT THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES ON ALL THEIR MOUNTAIN  BIKES THAT HAD STEEL RIMS
