Went for first decent ride of 20 miles yesterday - fabulous. The bike ate the hills and my wife who has real knee issues was fine. However, the v-brakes on a 25 kg bike were even worse than I'd thought. Full braking takes far too long, no chance of stopping in an emergency.
Just wondered if there is anything I can do about it? Would better pads help? Any recommendations? Can they be changed for a different type of brake? I assume that disc brakes are out of the question as I am guessing you need special attachments on the frame?
Any advice welcome.
