Hi all, I am back out on my Giant Defy 4 now after it has been in hibernation!

First ride back out today and remembered how the standard fitted "Tektro Giant specific Dual Pivot" brakes are! Coming down hills, there are a few :eek: moments!
Upgraded the pads to some clarks ones last year, which helped a little.

Don't want to spend loads on new ones, but do you think that Shimano BR-5700 105's will be a good enough upgrade? Will cost about £70 for the pair, which is about my budget :D

What about pads too? Got these at the min : Clarks Gold Road Brake Pad Triple Compound with Light Cartridge Holder for Shimano & Sram (55mm)
First link in google search :)

Thanks for any help!
