Henry Webster:
Do a web search for them there are a couple of good online sales places.

Failing that your usual pattern parts supplier might well be able to deal, I believe that Beamach distribute them.

Thanks Henry, I'll keep an eye out as I know my current ones are on the way out, hopefully I'll find them before they go.

Ther larger tyre diameter will have an effect on braking efficiency.  Do you have vented discs on the front ?

Just a thought about expensive pads... if you do a lot of plugging through nasty stuff, brake pads do have a tendency to wear quicker.  So bear that in mind when making the decision on how much you want to spend  :shock:

I believe I do but it's dark and damp out side so I can't be certain. (I'm 99% certain they are)

Hmm, good point. The stock ones have lasted 20k plus with swimming lessons being given from day 2 of ownership. If I'm to believe the blurb, the Green ones are harder wearing, with more stopping power. I can live with, the cost of the pads once a year, aslong as it doesn't get much more frequent.
