Not sure if this should be in the kit advice forum but anyhows.....
My brake pads are nearing the end of their wear and need replacing.
I have not needed to change them before so just after advice so I don't buy completely the wrong thing ...
The bike is a hybrid and the brakes are specced as ' Tektro/ SCB-36 A V-Brakes / blk'
So will any V-Brake compatible part work e.g. :
http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/bike-accessories/wilko-v-style-brake-pads/invt/0194385/
I have measured the current pads and they are 60mm long so I assume I need something matching in length? Wiggle list some 70mm ones but I am guessing they are too long :

Probably a stupid simple question but grateful if someone could steer me in the right direction.
Thanks.
