Reasonable lifespan & actually stop / slow you down - any recommendations?
My lbs recommended Clark ones with the replaceable inserts, £10 a set. Not got round to fitting them yet as I broke my collar bone and have no need for brakes just now. I've read the instructions about 'toeing' them, I'd never heard of this before

I really rate Aztec. Evans do complete set of 4 for 8.99. Pretty good deal, IMO.
Swiss Stop is as hi tech as rim brake pads go.

Cheers for the info.
