[quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"][quote="-Adam-"][quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"]Bought some aftermarket replacements from Ribble for my TT bike that are great in the wet, but not so good in the dry :roll:


So what do you do, squirt water from your bottle on them each time you need to brake?? :lol:



I've swapped them over, so got one of each on each calliper :wink:

Does this explain how you managed to crash on a straight (wet, but drying) road on Saturday then :lol:

Please elaborate...

Having said that there were some very very slippery roads in Belgium on Saturday, particularly the white lines, which seemed to be much worse than ours!
