    What's the general opinion on replacements for the V brakes on my hybrid?

    Kool Stop Salmon Mountain Pads* brake wickedly and last well - but they can be very noisy. Also more
    difficult to setip than usual due to the over-sizing.

    I'll be interested if anyone knows if the Dual version is really quieter and if brake booster would
    help (by making brake more rigid thus reducing vibration).

    Does anyone have a reliable UK source for these, or does everyone write off to Uncle Sheldon?
    Actually with the current exchange rates that might be quite attractive.
