Tom,
That's what's on there now. I know the pads are an issue, but I've also looked down at the front calipers while braking (and while simulating a hard brake while pushing the bike forward). The flex is disconcerting, but I think I'm going to try going with new pads first. Any recommendations? Is here something that's fresh, black, has a good bit of surface area and doesn't look like it crash landed in 2003?
