Hi there.

I need to replace the brakes on my Bianchi Volpe - they are cantilever threaded.

I am about to order some other non-bike stuff from Amazon and want to add some brakes to the order, can anyone recommend good replacements?

Picture shows one from the front / one from the back... eagle claw, thinline, what do I need?

Thanks!

OK, this is totally sad, but I didn't realize until you just said this that the Shimano pads even popped out... I wonder what I did with my front Shimano holders... I think I probably threw them out, thinking they were broken. A pad did fall out at one point...

Is that a worry in general?

I will say that this bike has never stopped well, and I am in a super hilly area, so I need all the help I can get.

Edited to add:

Will this work? Happy to upgrade to Kool Stops if they are better...
