Universal V-Brake Brake Pads

Finding replacement pads for a V-brake caliper on an older frame often means sorting through mounts that no longer match. This universal pair keeps the equation simple: a rubber pad body, a manufacturer reference of 0000, and a declared country of origin of China. No letters or numbers beyond that are needed to order the right part.

The photographs accompanying this listing are part of the description and should be read as such. As with any used stock that has sat for a while.

Why a universal V-brake pad earns its place in a workshop drawer

V-brake calipers come in several generations, and the pad interface has stayed remarkably stable across them. That is what makes a universal pad practical: one shape covers a wide span of caliper bodies, so you are not chasing a model-specific reference for every bicycle that rolls in.

The pad body here is rubber, and it is supplied as a set —. The factory reference 0000 is the identifier to note if you keep a parts log or need to reorder the same item later.

What the listing states, plainly

Nothing about condition is hidden behind vague wording. The declared facts are these: rubber pad material, Chinese origin, reference 0000., and.

If you are working on a rider that needs a matching braking component at the lever end, the hub at brake levers gathers the period-correct options, and a pair such as the Mafac aluminium brake levers can sit alongside new pads without breaking the original look.
