Review on 🔘 Dia Compe Opc-12 Cantilever Brake Pads (Black, Pack of 4) by Samuel Groove

I bought an old cheap Kent mountain bike from Goodwill for $7 to use as a beach cruiser. It has good tires but the brakes squeak like a banshee so I ordered those Dia-Comp pads. Too bad brake pads cost more than the bike costs. Unfortunately they will not fit Kent cantilever brake mounts. The shank diameter of this Diacompe pad is exactly 1/4", while the Kent bike has a 6mm shank. The Diacompe shank is too big to climb in. I think the pads will fit, although the OEM Pads have an appropriate radius Wheel and these DiaComp pads are straight The shaft fits the rear brake on my daughter's Trek Mountain Cub with 16" wheels but the pad is too bulky and also doesn't have a radius like the OEM pads .I'm sure they work for someone but buyers beware.Probably not worth sending back to this 3rd party.Rated a 3 out of ehh.
