Thanks for all the replies.
The "greasiness" of the road may have been a factor as it was the first rain we'd had in about two weeks (thanks, Australian summer).
I'll play around with the adjustments of the brakes as well.
I had a quick look online for the SwissStops, but they're pretty hard to get without paying excessive amounts in postage.
