Having ridden London-Brighton at the weekend on an old-but-nice Claud I picked up on the 'bay, I feel the need to seriously upgrade the Weinmann 606 stoppers to cope with 20-plus stone of fatbloke, full panniers and bike going downhill (even if it is 531)...
Any recommendations for a centre-mount caliper with a deep-ish drop and massive stopping power? Drop probably about 55mm - frame is made for 700c but has touring clearances. Shimano BR650 looks good but no idea how it performs. Any tips on the best pads welcome too - not my area of expertise.
