Nice chilly ride in today at -4C/24F. Dressed well and all my Christmas presents worked great. Yesterday I noticed my brake pads were worn out... Cheap MEC pads didn't even last 800 km until they were metal on metal! The wear line is nowhere near the end of the rain groove. Had to rid home without using the rear brakes at all. Closest shop only had Shimano Cantilever shoes so that's what I've got. I'll have to pick up some Kool Stop pads next time I place an order.
