Huffy brake problem

Our testers experienced difficulty braking while going downhill on the 26-inch Huffy Commuter bicycles we tested. After two high-speed stops with each bike, the brake pads were worn down past the point where they could be adjusted. After the maker provided new brake pads, we were able to stop safely, although we did notice a burning-rubber smell and brake-pad wear. The bike has been discontinued, but if you already own it, be sure to check its brake pads regularly.
