[Closed] Why are road brakes so cr*p?

FOG · 2011-12-30T13:01:42Z

The Ultegra brakes on my road bike never seem to work well enough. I have spent hours fidling with centering, cable oiling, adjustment etc to little avail.Why am I asking this question on a mtb forum? Because my roadie mates shrug their shoulders and say 'they're all like that'. Have I just been spoiled by a decade of discs on mtbs or is there some fix like a super duper brake block that will transform my braking?

Dura Ace brakes here of a 1998 vintage and my brakes are plenty powerful enough, even when switching from the disc braked mtb.
