Bike parts

    I'm looking for some bike parts & not sure what to get & where to buy.

    Firstly, brake pads: The bike these would be for is a Dawes Sonoran with 700c wheels & V-brakes. Would these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190616431118 be suitable? Has anyone used this type with replaceable pads before?

    Also, for another bike - Islabikes Beinn 26 large - with 26" wheels. I think the brake blocks are 65mm long.

    Tyre:

    New puncture-resistant front tyre 700 x 35c for hybrid needed. Have used Swalbe before - Are these good tyres &, again, where to buy from?

    Chain

    Is it difficult to replace a chain? I intend to go on a cycling holiday & the chain is a few years old. Any instructions & buying advice please.

    Thanks in advance.
