now these brakes are ok in dry weather and if i start stopping way ahead of time ,but other day i was in the rain and the front brake did not stop that great , i asking what better brake pads can i use for this set up , or been thinking about better brakes , drum or disk are out as they cost way to much least $150 for them , been thinking about v brakes (if there batter that these i got on now , can i use , i seen v brake brackets $24 can this work instead of a bracket , if not any other way of getting v brakes on this bike .
