I have had them on my road bike for 3 years. In short…they’re balls. If you’ve got them set up so that you can come to a stop in some sort of controlled fashion then be happy.
I need to regularly adjust the 3mm adjustments on each side of the calliper and the cable tension. I’d say I need to do this around every 100km to keep a sharp feel. Decent quality resin pads also help, I’ve gone with the Shimano ones.
First I tried fitting a better cable set, some sort of Goodridge one and that made them a bit better. I swapped this recently for the proper TRP cable set with the metal housing for the bars. A bit better but far from great. Regreainsg and cleaning helps.
They are, however, balls even at best. The only thing making me keep them is the cost of ditching 10 speed and going hydraulic.
