    Anyone have a set? Been running mine for a year now and they are doing my head in!
    I just can’t get a good bite from them, they were fine when new. I have tried new cables, sintered pads, organic and kevlar and the front is just ‘meh’. Please help me with any tips before i buy some Shimano’s.

    Mine work fine too.changed the cables once in 2.5 years.
    Fwiw ,it took me a quite awhile to get my hands strong enough /used to the hoods.
    But I’m weak as a kitten.

    Mine is good but it does need the best cables you can get. I’m running mine with bar-top levers too so there’s a lot of friction in the system but top quality cables will make it mostly OK. Plenty of power in the actual brake, loads of modulation.

    I have jagwire cables – the good one’s. There is just no bite no matter how hard i pull them. I might try an M4 caliper on the front and see if it improves things.
