How do i know what brake pads to buy?
I rode 65 miles yesterday and i hit a batch of sand and water and it stuck in the pads and wore them out bad, Along with stripping my paint off my rim a bit. But anyway, It seems like a very easy thing to change but, Is there some sizes i need to buy? I have a Windsor Wellington 2.0 bike its Shimano Sora Gears. See here. https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ellington2.htm

If your bike has cheapo brakes, you should upgrade to cartridge-style brake shoes, then replace only the rubber inserts. I like the Koolstop black inserts, but the salmon ones are better for rainy areas.

I hate it when people are so damn impatient that they start to bump their thread after only a few minutes.
