Yes maybe I should just get some new brake pads first since they're not that much
>Buy modern sidepull calipers, with non-recessed locknuts so they'll fit your frame.I had no idea you COULD get dual pivots with old-style nuts (giggity), instead of recessed nuts (giggity). But I found pic on eBay which apparently has non-recessed nuts. Might be a bit long for my bike but there seem to be some others too.
>You don't have a co-op near you? They could help you with finding a different pair of calipers or just to drill the frame out to put dual-pivots. I do not. Maybe I could go to an LBS but that's time / money / effort. Maybe though.
>If your brake calipers are a model with longer arms than those, then I'd look at upgradingI think mine are shorter, and pic related which I found might be too long, so yeah maybe I'll start with brake pads, but there are some other ones on eBay, from Tektro and Acor, which look shorter, and claim to have non-recessed nuts too, so might be worth trying if new pads are still shit.
