I meant to say - you know how you mentioned you were having trouble braking on those steel rims?
I got a pair of these for mine and they're great. Designed for steel.

They cost about £14(steep) from London Fields bikes but I've been riding with them daily for the last 6 months or so and they're hardly worn.
Still not amazing braking in the rain but a hell of a lot better.
I almost didn't buy them because they spelled cool with a k, but I got over that eventually.
