The updated brakes and rack looks good, and thank you for bringing up the "brake debate"
As Brian eloquently pointed out - brakes are a system, and adjusting or changing components within a system will make it perform differently. I guess I am curious about what you're trying to achieve - is it maximum stopping force or most linear modulation for lever inches travelled, or something different altogether ? I heard an apocryphal story that Campy single-pivots were purposely designed with less than optimal stopping force, to allow for better scrubbing of speed without locking up - great in a peloton, but perhaps less so when needing to emergency stop. Also, Kool-stops are great, but I found a company claiming to have resurrected the original '80s Scott-Mathauser brake pad formula - here's the link for those that are interested. http://www.yokozunausa.com/brakepadsshoes.html Cheerio J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
