For road levers, including Campy ergos, the key is to get a mini-v brake. If you really like Paul, they just came out with their mini-motos: http://www.paulcomp.com/minimoto.html I used the cheapie $20 tektro mini-v and it worked well! Prior to using mini-vs, I had suntour xc pro canti and it caused massive chattering/shuddering from the front fork when braking. It was scary and disconcerning. I tried toeing in the pads and that helped a little, but soon reverted back to the chatter/shudder. Switching the front out with the cheapie tektro mini-v and no more problems! Now, some say my hanger was too high as it was mounted on top of the headset. I suppose I could have tried something like this fork crown cable hanger: http://www.trpbrakes.com/category.php?productid=1096&catid=188 http://www.specialized.com/ja/en/ftb/components/roadbrakelevers/tricrossforkbrakehanger Anyways, mini-vs work great with Campy ergo levers and were a nice fix for my braking problems.
