Hi, am wanting to improve the braking on this old Jan Janssen as much as possible with as little effort and cost as possible, so looking for a pair of more modern/powerful calipers that will help achieve this. Anything considered, located in London, happy to collect or pay postage. Thanks!

Softer brake pads help hugely

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
