  • The distinguishing point is that it is a rim brake pad with a female-threaded insert to accept a male screw, vs the usual male stud. I've seen these on a few high-end bikes, and they are a PITA to find replacements for (when digging around in our buckets of used parts). – Daniel R Hicks May 14 '18 at 17:23

    These are standard on road bikes since at least 90s and widely available in bike shops. – ojs May 14 '18 at 17:43

It's a rim brake pad for road bikes, with separate holder and rubber insert, Shimano/SRAM style.

  • Thanks for that - is there a type/brand you would recommend? – Kim May 14 '18 at 17:40
  • In my experience Kool Stop Salmon and the cheapest basic Jagwire have been good. The rubber insert is replaceable, you don't need to replace the holder. – ojs May 14 '18 at 17:43
  • Thanks for that - exactly the type I'm after! Now to find them in the UK! – Kim May 14 '18 at 17:54
