Are you using the standard brake pads?

If so, change them for dia-compe Hombre pads and you'll transform the stopping power - it worked for me.

Alternatively, let Fuzzynod set them up and he'll have your kidneys out with a flick of the brake!

try sanding the paint off the brake posts, not the main post so much but the bottom flat bit where the back of the brake pivot sits as I have had problems with Oddys before dragging on this which wrecks the stopping power
hope this helps
 :) DINGO :)
