Have Tektro Oryx canti brakes and they are not great in the wet. Will I notice any difference using Koolstop pads (or another brand) instead of the Tektro ones? I don't mind if they wear quickly, as long as the braking is more effective.
'I do not believe in the three-speed gear at all', the sergeant was saying. 'It is a newfangled instrument, it crucificies the legs, the half of the accidents are due to it.' (From 'The Third Policeman')

    had these on my commute bike, they're not good, better pads make a noticeable improvement - i fitted koolstop salmon - but the best improvement was changing the front to dual pivot calipers
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
