Sorry Darren, pipped you to the post! There seems to be lots of brakes popping up on here, so just keep an eye out. I'm struggling, can't wait for the brake to arrive. Due to a recurring sporting injury (knee unfortunately) a few years ago, and thus a lot of time inactive I have pretty weak legs, and I am finding a quick stop incredibly strenuous and achey on the knees (admittedly after practising hard stop after hard stop) let alone a skid stop, which I can't seem to physically even do... Guess it's either my legs/technique!
