Badly worn, the teeth are hooked.

What's your problem?

@I like Skol has an old Landrover, so the chances of it working long enough to go anywhere is slim anyway.

Yeah, I nearly asked if it has drum brakes.

My better half used to drive an old 110 Landy some decades ago. Brakes were 'vague', as was the steering!

Is that the new, lightweight 'comfort' saddle from Brooks?

I had an 83' Fiat Panda. From new I did 60000 miles, At an annual Service+MOT, I was advise to change the front brake pads. I looked at their quote and gasped at the parts price. Well, says Young mechanic 'How much did you pay last time?'
Me, 'What last time? They are the originals!'
I could tell he didn't believe me, but it was true.
The new pads were just the same as the old ones as to pressure on pedal and stopping power.
