I have the above bike with 105 sti shifters, condor branded v brakes and h plus son rims.
I am having some serious issues with the brakes. Front was causing the bike to judder and shake under hard braking which has been improved by toeing the swisstop blue pads in. Stopping power of the rear brake is non existent.
Would something like the SRAM shorty ultimate with a softer compound pad improve my braking significantly or should I just bite the bullet and go disc? If disc what would be preferred options?
Cheers
