Are you talking about the new skyway tuff pads? If you are, you should be able to get them from Alan's, Vert-ego or Ebay.com.

Yeah I've seen those at Alans but they apear to be threaded with a bolt and washer setup rather than splined to be gripped by the clamp. Unless I'm being stupid, which is very possible :uglystupid2:

V brakes use threaded with nut and washer. U brakes use the other type.

Not all V-Brakes use threaded Moose, I have a set of V-Brakes that use the spline shafts.

In answer to the question though, you will not be able to get Tuff Pads for the splined V-Brakes only threaded.

It would appear not, the cheap and nasty one on the rear of the Haro I've just picked uses the splined type and so did the montain bikes I've had in the past. But then come to think of it they were cheap too.  :)
