What's the group wisdom on Weinmann Vainqueur center pull brakes? I am building up a 1972 Paramount P-15, and these were the stock brakes. My experience is that the brakes are on the soft side. I am considering using MAFAC Dural Forge instead because I believe they'll perform better, especially since I weigh 225 lbs. The MAFACs are certainly period correct.
