i have a schwinn world sport but it seems it doesn't brake well comparing to mountain bikes.

so i'm thinking of changing the brake pads. Currently, i have 3 sectioned pads..i dunno how it's called. lol

3 squares in a pad. Any suggestion about the 4 squares in a pad?

Less than $10 a pair....

thx!
