  • Fair enough! Thanks for the advice. I had a mechanic pal set my current brakes up so I'm fairly confident they're working as well as they can. I suppose I need to try and work out where the issue is.

  • If there's nothing grossly wrong with the mechanical set up, then braking comes down to the performance of the friction pair. Pads are easily changed, but the rim is the other half of the friction pair and has its own part to play. At the least, it's as well to try different pad compounds to see which one plays nicely with a particular rim.

  • Good advice, thanks! Whilst I'm here and on the topic, what's the go to winter brake pad for a rim brake road bike these days?
