Koolstop brake pads

With the brake levers that came with my Express tikit the brakes were a little soft for my liking. The travel agents probably had something to do with it. Had tried to flip the H bars to solve some comfort issues and that required mountain brake levers. Nice and tight then.

But this solution didn't solve my sore wrists that I got on longer rides. History of carpal tunnel here.

Ended up going with bull horns and aero bars and original brake levers with travel agents...sigh.

So tried some Koolstop Salmons on the rear (had to order online). Much better! Found some black/salmon pads at the LBS for the front. Had to actually dial the fronts down a little as I was a little worried that I would endo they were so tight!

The longer Koolstop pads fit the 16" wheels without problems.
