Hi,

So I'm starting a bit of cross training, and today I was out in the rain, lots of wet grass etc. and my brakes were doing absolutely nothing, which is a little concerning when decending towards a sharp turn that I'll probably dump me in the river if I don't make it!

I think what's on there currently are Kool Stop Eagle II dual compound. I didn't use them for any races last season, I fitted them afterwards so this is the first time I've tried any serious off road work with them I can remember. I'm a little disappointed.

I guess my best other option is Swisstop?

Cheers,
Steve
