Today I frightened myself half to death descending a steep hill, I couldn't get enough pressure on the lever to get the brakes to work properly. This is partly my reluctance to descend on the drops but from my preferred position, the hoods I just can't exert enough pressure on the top of the lever to stop effectively.
Any advice including changing brake pads greatly appreciated. Will going to a cartridge type pad make a difference? Seen those swisstops recommended but are there cheaper just as good variants. Any other tips for braking, I do have small hands for a big .
Many thanks.
