Hi,
My winter bike is a Peugeot P10E and this still has the original standard chrome plated 27 x 1.25 steel rims and Weinman 600 side pull brakes. The rims have picked up a few bulges / dings over the years.
My problem is that this bike is carrying a 230 lb load (me) and the brakes are just not sufficiently effective to pull up in short order. Should I change to alloy rims and if yes can anyone provide a recommendation for a good substitute or any other suggestion to increase stopping power.
Regards
