But you are okay with 'peddles' ...?

Ooops, I skim-read and missed them

Koolstop Salmons are great brake pads

Ok, Just got back from a nice ride out and got to say, the front breaking was the key! Thanks to all!

 

[HovR]

Awesome!

By the way, I'd love to see a picture of your bike. I saw the thumbnail you had in your display picture and it looks really nice. Steel?

Swissstop are highly recommended brake pads.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is, though I didn't buy it and haven't particularly inspected so not 100%

Here's a pic of the bike:

That has to be the most extreme saddle setup that I have ever seen!

I don't agree with the 'saddles must always be perfectly horizontal' mantra (I tilt mine down by a degree or so) but that is very strange indeed.

I'd be amazed if that doesn't lead to problems when you start doing long rides!

Agreed, There are some adjustments I definitely need to make, hehe.
