And I thought I'd post something useful for the weight weenies unmonst you, not start a debate that belongs on another thread. Doh!!!

My posts:

We are talking 26" here...

Please stick to the point? ;)

Your replies:

Your 700c Velocity Deep Vs are 580g each and have a larger radius. Your opponents will be shooting before you can get back. (Reading this post again, this seems to be slightly ad homimem)

Max Power has already described why 700c is not the right choice for polo.

Just admit you have bloody screwed up and misread my posts and not try to sweep it under the carpet and change subject.

TS I have that rear brake mount for you, earliest I can Beagle it over would be Weds...

I need a front, my brother... x

Anyone?

I am ordering some of these Green Swissstop pads: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/swissstop-rx-brake-pads-shimano-xtr-xt/rp-prod42655

The price is 22.99 for 2 pairs and I only need a pair, anyone wants the other?

I would, but I don't use that system

What system? Cartridge pads?

yeah man, I'm using one piece Jagwire pads atm
kinda like these:

Will throw in a set of Avid cartridge pads holders with it for 2 tins of Grolsch.

My posts: Uninformed

ftfy

I am sorry but I was too proud to admit that I read wrongly and instead tried to discredit you, please don't punch me.

Ftfy.

One of the best in wet, that's why I am getting them.

Ben ill take the other pair please

hey!

in other news, here are the chrome domes that I suggested yesterday, although I'm not sure they're gonna fit on the front, only rear....oh and they're pricey. (£12 each)

Do people really pay £12 for a washer?! Wtf?

Phil/hipster tax innit ;)

I bought koolstop dual compound before Euros thinking they would improve braking in rain but that wasn´t the case.
Are the green swissstops any better?

I can't compare them to Kool Stops, but I've just switched from 105 calipers with Swissstop green to Chorus with stock Campag pads on my road bike. The Campag performance drops off a lot more in the wet than the greens.

to be fair I have them on my daily ride and have no wheel slip problems compared to almost daily slipping due to super hard track end inserts on the Dodici

My SwissStop HP2 pads have been great in the wet so far... Very impressed...

But are they better than 50p's worth of washers from B&q? (Or just scoring the nuts for that matter)

I just torque the fuck out of the bolts, but I've only threaded 3 nuts...

As for the vbrake pads, if you are going to spend £22 on pads, you might as well go to discs, it'll work better in the rain and be cheaper in the long run.

It's 22 for 2 pairs so it's 11 for a pair which is not a lot. Will go disc eventually but will still run v brakes for this winter so spending a bit more on pads in the meantime.

I agree discs are much, much better in the wet...

I prefer v-brakes, probably cuz I've never used discs and they're easy to set up... And I think they're safer...
