For my over 1/10 of a ton weight, plus 23 lbs bike! I know for a fact that my Mafac Competions stop me easier then my short reach Campy SRs do. Really a difference on a short very steep hill. I use the replacement Kool Stop Salmons for all my set-ups. I always use a close adjustment on all brakes and true rims. Has anyone every spent the time checking out the different models brake bridge to find the lowest dropping one to change to a higher ratio at the brake pivot? Really that's all the bike makers did to raise the ratio was drop the bolt hole.
