Any suggestions on brand of brake pads for this bike. The ones on it now are horrible.

Thanks for the advice. I will defintley go for the pads, but I think I'll stick with the stock calipers etc. Plus I'm sure a change of fluids can't hurt.

Next question...where do you get these pads. I use Dennis Kirk because their shipping is the best and they don't carry them for this bike. They have DP's (sintered) and then they say you shouldn't use sintered pads on a bike that wasn't designed for them. Was this bike designed for them?I never had so much trouble getting some ^&*#% brake pads!

Thanks, I just bought them from good old JC Whitney. They have sent me catalogs for years, its the least I could do.
