Spotted a chap riding a Brother track with Brompton risers yesterday. Made me chuckle. Hello if you're here!

Yeah that's right, the thread matches the old pads. It's so so much better now! Frame is a Balk (rebadged Eddy Merckx Pista, but rather ratty and under the radar, which I quite like ) originally a "hire" bike from a track in Rotterdam (I believe). The EDCO headset was a bargain NOS from a Ripley jumble many moons ago; honestly the best threaded headset I've ever owned. I had to get the central spline of the brake modified so it would fit: It's now an eccentric spline that threads through the crown and then moves up so the caliper has enough drop to work.

Dredging up this old thread to see if anyone has any dust cap intel: Got one or know where I can get one for some Atac carbon xs? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
I actually ended up sorting my pads out today. I ended up using some Madison Aztec Road System pads which fit the old bolts (which I believe are M5): https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-blocks/aztec-road-system-standard-brake-blocks-charcoal/
Just had a test ride and they work pretty well, definitely 50%+ better than the old pads!

A good friend of mine had a couple of bikes taken from his garden shed on Tuesday night, if people could keep an eye out?
One is a white Specialized Model Allez Elite, Frame Number: WUD80818359D (Pics attached)
The other is a black/red Giant Avail,Frame Number: C14K5087
Little hope of getting them back I guess and the police have already closed the case.

Thanks @MCamb - all sorted now. Would that work? I can't seem to get my head around the physics!
I still use filmdev (just sent an order to them the other day) - though it has gone up a little in price the last couple of years, understandably... I've also used Traia, Rapideye and Artful Dodgers in the past couple of years with positive results.
Filmdev is still my go to though.
