I went out on a damp road for the first time a few days ago, and heading down Broomfield Hill in Richmond Park I had my first wobbly moment at 28 mph. Prior to maneuvering a bend I wanted to apply a bit of brake before the corner and felt very little happening.
After the bend I applied a little more and got to slow down but I must say I wasn't entirely enthralled by their performance.
Haven't had particularly bad experience with them before, but being more conscious of them the rest of the ride put me a little on edge.
They are Tektro R539 brakes with whatever standard pads they come with on my Cannondale.
Are these supposed to be ok brakes? What would you suggest I do, replace them or the pads or both?
