Hi Chris,
I see you no longer have the bike but i was wanting to ask a question about the brakes - I`ve just picked up a second-hand Giro and whilst the brake pads look fine (ie they aren`t worn down) the whole braking experience leaves a lot to be desired, to put it mildly. Can I just replace the pads with better ones or do you think the braking set-up on the Viking is a bit below par.
I actually found a Trek MTB in the woods earlier in the week (see my other thread "What to do.."), it has Tektro brakes and very decent pads altho the cables look knackered - is there anything to stop me from putting this braking set-up onto the Viking?
