listen: go to your LBS with your bike. say 'i want better brakes' they will have some tektros there that will work. the end.
Forgive me for an attempt at doing this myself and wanting to learn more in the process. The only thing I've ever had to have my LBS do is true a wheel for me because I did not have the proper tools. I'm not going to bring the bike there and kindly ask if I can hand them over my money to do something I'm perfectly capable of, although not entirely knowledgeable about yet.
I'll see where I am after the Koolstop pads. The darn Motobecane I bought last week has been taking all my time, but it's back to the Cannondale today.
