Have these calipers - GB Standard Hiduminium which have Fibrax pads which have little stopping power.
I wanted to upgrade the calipers and get better stopping power & bought new complete blocks but the problem I have is that the new blocks do not have a long enough threaded bolt and cannot be securely fixed to the calipers to provide good braking against the angled rim.
Has anyone got any recommendations for a make of pads which will fit the original blocks or a make of complete blocks with a suitable threaded bolt. Looking at Kool stop pads which look suitable but don't know if they will work and what size (4 dots, 6 dots)
Thanks
