Update: Bought two new MTB brake cables and installed them as long straddle cables, getting the angle between straddle cable and brake arm as close to 90˚ as I could. Brakes are markedly improved! So the fix was Kool Stop pads and 90˚ cable to brake arm angle.
Thanks for all your help! With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
