I currently have Shimano 105 on alloy rims for both front and rear. I was also planning to install Koolstop Dura 2 pads, since I noticed I can’t brake on wet conditions.

If I have to replace the callipers with deep drop ones I would like to put something at least as good as the ones I currently have.

Any ideas I would really appreciate it.

Many thanks!
