my current set up is using shimano (cant remember tyre off top of my head) cantis and shimano short pads. but they realy are starting to annoy me. everytime i jump on the racing bike i know its going to stop regardless. and thats only using old campag calipers. but the brakes on the raleigh just doesnt give me enough stopping power.... i can properly yank the fronts on and it trys but it feels like the wheels are damp (even though todays ride was long and very dry.) the back is the same if not worse, giving me either nothing or a skid if i realy try. the rims are specialized bx23's.. any help greatly appriciated. i love the bike and the overall feel of it its just the brakes and a couple other niggles that need sorting.
