You could follow a few options here and save alot of your christmas money You could keep your exsisting v brakes, And buy either heatsink or lazmmatic v brake pads for the rear. Or you could buy just a rear hs-33 and keep the front vee brake, And buy some good pads for the front, Ive heard a few good things about kool stop v pads on the front? The choice is your matey Tom
