What the hell, it is so hard and annoying changing these. I thought it was a good idea to reduce waste, but i am switching back to regular rim brake pads, i feel like it’s an annoying torture to get the new shoes into the slot. Broke already two of them. I thought i must be doing something wrong but i’m not so sure. In the help videos people just slide them in and out easy peasy. Huh? I tried with adding water but doesn’t really help.
I think it may have been slightly incompatible shoes that i had. My brake wasn’t listed on the package, i just thought all the lx / xt type brakes would have the same shoes. Anyway, i was just at decathlon to buy store brand shoes and they actually fit. Tight but you can actually get them on. These ones i tried this morning were just killing me, and there was still really a mm of a shove missing when i thought that’s got to be good enough.
