I had to laugh at this, we was all asking this question when we started back.

I use scott new school brake pads now and they stop a lot better than the old blocks, try any new school blocks on it and the longer ones seem to do the trick.
Cool stops were great but I managed to destroy an MX1000 when they got dragged into the wheel by the strength of the pads :shocked:
A long time ago, in a land far away!
