That looks like an amazing ride! From the photos, it looks like it's
possible that you ended up with the long-pull version of the
Genevalle brake levers. If that's the case, it would explain the weak brake

I guess my interpretation of stopping power is based on how quickly you stop
for the same squeeze exertion. I have done no scientific testing. The Paul's
feel better and feel like they stop quicker and more powerfullynot a ton,
but some.
On some steep fire road descents, the 559's slowed me
This has been my experience as well. They do make fendering much easier.

Is there something weird with the way the brakes are set up? I ride a
hillborne on 38mm tires with 559s on and off road all day and have never
had trouble stopping on any terrain.
