Can anyone link me to some info about correct/optimum brake/wheel combo?
I've had my Dawes Horizon for about a year and the first thing I did was to swap the useless standard brakes for some KoolStop Tectonic brakes, with all three compounds. It should hardly come as a surprise that there's now very little metal left on my rims. (but bleedin 'ell did it stop quick!!)
I rather fancy some handbuilt wheels, but I don't really want to spend £300 on wheels I'll be replacing again in 12 months time! (or is that how long I should expect wheels to last?)
