Thanks Pedro; I think I will give the Salmons a go if they're the best suited

The clarks ones I have are 72mm (which sometime makes getting the wheel out a bit tricky). They are the triple compound ones and seem to work quite well. I recently did the HONC and they stopped the bike well on downhill full on muddy trails, so that's good enough for me.
Hi again!
Well I put up with the apalling front brakes for a long time because most of my commute ride was on the flat so it wasn't too much of a problem. I couldn't go with the miniVs and still fit my guards on (canal towpath to work is just mud in places and I don't want to get caked). So today I finally had a fork hanger fitted (got it from Edinburgh bicycle cooperative) instead of the headset hanger and it has made a fantastic improvement. No judder whatsoever, almost no squeaking. I think they toed them in a bit too, which I had tried and failed to do a decent job of.
Still think I should have got the Ultegra disc version (even at +£400
) but at least now I won't be thinking how much I hate it on every single ride!
Might even be able to go back on some trails without being embarassed at the noise.
And this is why the fork crown hanger works; http://velonews.competitor.com/2010...l-qa-with-lennard-zinn-return-to-cross_101807
Toodles!
