So, do you have speed comparisons as a result of your testing? You know, Mafacs obviously were number one, who came in second, third etc. Sounds like you and your buddies were a tough bunch. "Hey, let's go out and see which brake will flip us over the bars the fastest!"

The best stopping was alway Mafac but harder to adjust, and the huge hand span made it harder to reach with smaller hands, but when you got them down far enough on the lever they would flip you over the bar faster than Weinmann, Universal, Altenburger, or GB's.
