Do yourself a huge favor and replace them with hydraulic brakes. You don't even need to go to a bike shop to have them installed if they are pre-bled. Tektro Auriga front/rear $70 total.Shimano XT front/rear $200 total.Either one of those will be a huge improvement over what you have now, even the Tektros.</blockquote>
