Definitely not the XC pro brakes Brewster. I find them very easy to
setup and adjust, and the for the bikes I have owned or used the best
performing brake. As with everything bike, one person's bliss is another's
hell and no one can explain it so don't bother ;) No biggie. I have found
some bikes just don't go well with certain brakes, and there is always
another brake to try. Glad you found something that worked for you ! And
this is the essence of this entire subject, there's many brakes(and
whatever) to choose from, none of them in themselves superior or inferior
to the other, just another kind of brake.
One thing that may have helped you Brewster is to use a fork crown
mounted Tektro cable stop, so your cable and housing go directly to it
instead of the one long from the headset. The cable drop then is very short
and I noticed a difference right away in using it.
