I really like stock NR brakes. Back when I was fit I used to ride a good bit during the Coors Classic in Colorado. We would climb up one of the big passes like Independence and descend. I always felt the brakes were very controllable and powerful. I have heard that Campy lightened up their latest dual pivot design bc riders were launching over the handlebars. That might just be a rumor as I've never tried them. In fact I've never ridden a bike with anything other than friction shifting.
