Modern brake pads can be adjusted to face the rim at an angle. These are great and include the half-sphere washers necessary for that kind of a setup.

Kool stop salmon brake pads

You need the right pads for all weather conditions if you are riding in the rain. Especially heavy rain.

Regular black brake pads are truly for DRY conditions only.

Dual compound is for both. Salmon is for mostly wet.

Give a pair of these a try and not only will you have the best and strongest rim braking you've ever had, you'll have the best all-weather performance there is for rim brakes. It is absolutely worth the money and one of the best bike upgrades you can do for a rim-brake bicycle.

Make sure to toe in brakes to avoid squeaking and you're golden.

If this is for a commuter bike and rain happens here and there, this is a necessity for safety, not a luxury. The right brakes are just as necessary as a helmet.

3 out of my 4 bikes have rim brakes and these are the only pads I use or recommend. Getting the toe in correct for squeaking is a thing, but other than that they are the best brakes out there for rims. Hands down. Especially for rain and snow.

The things that make the most sense to upgrade first are the cheap ones that move to a new bike the easiest:

  • Saddle - the more you're standing while riding, the less important this will be. These are a cheap option to increase comfort while sitting:

  • Pedals - these are nice flats for the money:

  • Grips - I'm a fan of Ergon grips, but lots of options out there for under $25 that are better than stock


    Things that won't move with you that may make sense to look at:

  • Brake pads - Kool stop pads like these are usually considered some of the better rim brake pads out there:

    Tires - you're likely to find something with a little more aggressive tread than what you have for $20 / tire on clearance.
