I use a thick rubber band and wrap it around the back of the pads before
tightening them. Seems to toe-in the pads just fine and you can adjust the
amount easier by wrapping once or twice. Good luck!

Hey Fellas,
Thanks for all the suggestions. Ordered the Supra 2 pads, thanks Jason for the
recommendation and John good advice you've accumulated from sources, I'll be

Last time I was at Rivendell, I bought the Yokozunas they sell in both
smooth and threaded (I needed threaded). Their spacers and cupped washers
were really easy to set up and adjust. When I was there, I noticed all the
brake pads were toed in to the front to keep them from squealing which is
The guy on the picture doesn't look like he's having a good time.
Could it be due to the brake pads or simply not enough fiber?

They are a lot shorter than the cartridge ones I had. I was wanting
shorter pads to allow the brake to open more for clearance for chubby
tires. Braking power seems the sam
this is all I use on all my bikes. If they were too long as on one bike I
just dremeled it off at the first "ridge" then you can go ridge by ridge as

Hugh,
Kool Stop Supra 2 might be a better option. The Supra 2 have
concave/convex washers which appear to be the same as the Thinline pads,
