Upgrades
Hi,
I have had the salisbury for about 6 months now.
I have upgraded the front brakes to avid single digit 5s as recommended by Alex728 and changed the brake cable.
Before in the rain when I tried to brake they made a terribel screeching noise and hardly stopped the bike. I nearly crashed a couple of times
They have made a huge difference no more squeeling noise from the brakes and they stop the bike very well. The brakes are definately worth changing.

I also upgraded the pedals to cage pedals and this has helped when riding the bike in the rain.
I also changed the back tyre to a continental travel contact as I had a puncture and it took me ages to remove the back wheel. I would have changed it to a schwalbe marathon plus as recommended by users on the forum but I didn't have enough time to order.
Riding the bike now is so much better
