I have just bought a 2008/9 Giant tcr c3 road bike - yesterday actually. It originally came with Shimano 105 brakes, I think, but now has Concept Cex calipers fitted, front and rear (from a Focus bike I assume).
I am new to bikes and I am finding lots of travel on the brake lever. I guess the first thing to check would be new brake blocks - any suggestions for decent brands? But I was also thinking of changing the calipers back to original - either Shimano 105 5800, or the Shimano Ultegra BR 6800. Presumably either of these would be compatible. I will be using this as a general road bike, no huge hills, not going at great speed.
Any thoughts?
