Here for rides.
I've got Veloce/Campag race triple throughout.
The issue is with replacement Veloce pads and the limited choice and cost of replacement.
Take a file to the calipers and fit the Campag comptaible (not veloce) cartridge pads I have = £0
Replacement pads (non-cartridge type) £21
Complete replacement brakeset (F&R) in current Veloce which uses cartridge pads £28
NOS Veloce Skeleton D (dual pivot front, single pivot rear non-cartridge pads) £32
Current replacement brakeset (F&R) Centaur which uses cartridge pads £34
Bin the campag brakes and fit SRAM Apex in black £32
Which do you think is the way to go? Are Veloce calipers so over engineered that a bit of judicious filing won't be a problem?
