Hunter,

Thanks for the info. Anything that I should tell the brake guy? Any idea as
to what I ask for or do I just ask for a "soft" brake lining?

I know that the thickness is 5mm.

Thanks again for the info.....Ian

Hello Ian,

I had my 4LS brake on my Eldo relined by Harpers. They use a softer lining
like you mentioned. My brake works great now. Before that I would have
sworn that the front brakes made the bike speed up. :-o
As I recall the stock shoes are a bit pricey, that's what prompted me to
reline mine.

 Hi All,

A friend of mine owns a V700 and he wants to put on softer pads on his
brakes. Any recommendations as to the type of material that is the best?

Also....what is the advantage/disadvantage and cost difference buying new
brakes as opposed to having the brakes relined?

I appreciate the replies.

Regards...Ian
