haha!, i totally agree
the stock brake system is horrific! urgently need upgradingi'm waiting on a front and rear set of Magura HS33 R Urban's.. should do the job!
when i brake at the moment using my high end 1,99 euro supermarket special brake pads its going something like this
braking.. braking... starting to fade.. fully fading.. still fading.. pads starting to melt... heavily melting.... still melting.... metal vs aluminium..... aannddd......stopped
spent a few hours scraping and removing the melted brake pads from my rim's last weekend... they lasted for a grand total of 4.3Km's
that's 46 cents per Km in "cheap" brake pads xD
This is nuts. I love it. Get some better brakes though!
