Review on Shimano BR CT91 Cantilever Brake Shoe by Henry Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They work better as they are actually softer than the original parts

Really fits my old 91 Trek perfectly. They work better as they are actually softer than the original now hard pads. Yes, I know, Mr Security. I'll miss the loud squeak of old hard brake pads as I clear the path for a walk with 20-foot lines. The new pads work well for the brakes but not for the 80 decibel squeak. Yes my horns fit although my helmet is fine. UPDATE March 2019: They work fine. It took some adjustments to keep them right. touch customization. The dangerous adjustment of the front wheel brake occurs where the rear wheel barely lifts off the ground. F&R both work great. By the way, my rims are aluminum and they thank me for getting rid of the old hard screamers. However, I miss the reaction of walking dogs on a leash. Screeeeeeeeeeee!

Pros
  • Parts and components
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase by elderly
