New Brake Pads for Steel Rims.

Nick at Curious Velo in Lexington, Ma handed me a pair of these special brake pads designed for steel rims.
We will me testing them on Friday.

  1. Looking forward to the report! I got a set of the leather-faced pads a few years ago, and used them on my Rudge Sports. Unfortunately I rarely rode that bike in the rain (no mudguards) so didn't get a good "feel" for their wet steel rim stopping power.

  2. That sounds like an exciting test! Steel rims can be tricky when it comes to braking performance, so it’ll be interesting to see how those special pads hold up. If the results aren’t ideal, it’s always worth checking out professional options like auto brake repair near me to ensure safe and reliable stopping power.
