Good quality and very well made, better than I expected.
I received these earlier that stated and they were well packaged. I bought them for my vintage 1970's Raleigh racer as the original blocks were wearing and I couldn't find a suitable match in original vintage parts. Well I've fitted them and have just cycled 30+ miles including down some steep hills and I'm very happy with the performance of these blocks, they don't squeal and they don't leave rubber residue on your steel rims. They are very well made and look good quality. I only bought one pair to see what they were like but I will definitely be ordering some more to keep for spares.

These were a perfect replacement and the brakes are really strong but more ...
I bought 2 sets to replace the front brakes on 2 Raleigh record sprints.they were squealing horrendously. These were a perfect replacement and the brakes are really strong but more importantly,totally quiet. They are chamfered so have to be fitted the right way up so as get maximum contact area as the block swings onto the rims.

Good quality blocks
These are very good quality blocks. One advantage they have over other ones I have used in the past is that they are closed at both ends. That is just a little indication of quality but it also prevents the block from shooting out when braking if you accidentally fit them the wrong way round. All in all a good product at a great price. And they stop your bike too.

A Brake with the past.
Excellent, retro style blocks for vintage rebuilds and refurbs, which look really authentic for retro work and far superior to lozenge style blocks.

Great finishing touch to a re-built bike project for a Raleigh Carlton frame from my youth. Thanks for the quick supply of the items - will buy again when needed
