What type of replacement brake pads should I buy for the FLIT-16?

Front brakes

For the front brakes you’ll need v-brake pads. The direct replacement is Tektro 520.12 55mm which you can find in most stores. Most other manufacturers will work too though, as long as it’s a v-brake pad of similar length.

Rear brakes

For the rear brakes, you’ll need road brake pads, 50mm length. Clarks CP250 are a good value and easy to source option.
