Subject: [CR] Replacing Weinmann brake pads


I need to replace the original weinmann brake pads on my vainqueur 999 brakeset as they are dry and hard. The old pads slid out just fine but the salmon koop stop pads I got to replace them (the campy/mafac ones) are way too loose in the holders. And now I have kind of mangled the pad holders trying to hammer them down around the new pads. But alas the new Kool stops are still just too loose. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have any weinmann pad holders that I can start anew with?

Thanks!
