Cafewanda's road bike try-outs

and how is that suppose to help? it won't bring levers closer to the bars.

mainly because it's a little hard to tell exactly what was the problem (until sumo's latest respond that brought more information), a longer reach make it a tad harder to grab the brake.

Sumo, perhaps try and reset-up the brakes again and see what happen? your SRAM one is obviously going to be a lots better than the budget offering of the Tektro's brakes, but set-up properly it shouldn't be hard to operate.

the line-up of similar shifter/brakes combo in the shop is largely due to the mechanic's set-up, some feel powerful, some feel spongy, or in Scoot's case, harder to pull.
