This week have fallen (back) in love with the Boardman CX.... To be honest, trying to get the brakes working to a level I was happy with was a royal pain in the arse.
Now with road BB7s front and rear, new cables (lightly lubed to reduce friction), removed cross top levers, travel agent on the front and having trued the (very wonky) discs...Braking power is great. Actually great, not just ok.
Might even be tempted to put knobblies back on and go ride it how it's meant to be ridden, didin't have faith enough in the brakes to do so before.
