Hi,
Just starting to put the bigger mileage in on my ken bird and I love riding it but descending scares me stupid. Living in Bath I don't have many little hills so I was wondering if changing the brake blocks would make much difference? The brakes are golden arrow and currently have standard shimano blocks. I see there are modern pads but mine are one piece block and pad. Can anyone recommend a new block that may give me a bit more confidence as I don't want to stop going up and back down hills.
Thanks
Alan
