Clarks pads are abysmal.

Fit Kool Stops, red

I'm coming to the same conclusion - just 'cos they're cheap, doesn't mean they're good.

Yeah I guessed they would be pretty crap.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.

Kool-Stops.

Don't.

Leastways, not the yellow ones.  I've had them on the front of my Orbit for a while.  They were OK (if a bit screechy) for commuting, though I remember I had to readjust them a couple of times.

However, carrying a full touring load down a not terribly convincing midlands hill this weekend, I found that the commands I was giving at the levers were being turned into gentle suggestions at the business end  :(

I'll be refitting Aztecs as soon as I get to the bottom of the current list of more urgent fettling...
