The 7403 brakes that go on the Shimagnolo have non-adjustable pad holders (plus they kind of let the brakes down, being grey plastic on these alloy sculptures). Doesn't help that the pads are 15+ years old, hard as bricks, and about twice as wide as the braking surface of the Mavic gel 330 rims.

So, which pad and holder setup fits 7403 brakes, allows for toe adjust *and* look good?

Right up till you said "and look good" I was thinking Jagwire have aftermarket sets that will work.

Roman, they look great. I may be dense, however, but how do you adjust toe on them?
