brake pad advice sora

It's not the opposite, both wheels are going the same way regardless of the caliper mounting being in front of the forks at the front and behind the frame at the back.

The tips of the pads nearest the front of the bike need to touch the rim first on both wheels.

I think these are the ones @jack smith is referring to.

Decent pads at a good price, you'll need 2 packs to get sufficient pad holders, you'll then have a spare set of pads for each caliper and qualify for free postage. I've been using them for over a year now and have bought more, just need to be careful in the wet when they're new but that probably applies to most if not all pads.

Just ordered a set for the boardman , they will look nice with the white frame

They'll look great with a white frame!

Mine clash with black calipers

I ordered some Koolstops around the same time (3x the cost) and haven't used them yet 'cos the Clarks are fine
Strangely they work better on my Alexrims than the Aksiums, maybe 'cos the surface on the Alexrims is more worn.

my pads got delivered this afternoon.

they are indeed first rate. i think my old ones were a bit worn but stiil had 3mm. but these clarks must be stopping me five time faster and with increase accuracy.

thanks again for the super link.
