They said it couldn't be done cos of different "pull rates". The braking on my 7900 levers with 2004 pre skeletal centaur calipers is powerful and progressive. The 2008 Record Ergo levers on my chorus pre skeletal calipers is very good on the front but rubbish on the rear. The braking is non-descript and then locks up depsite after market pads and decent rim quality.Duuhhhhh...wonder what DA calipers are like??? SO much for the so-called "pull rate" issue.

Setup on brakes means a lot. Most say(without any knowledge whatsoever)that Deltas work like crap. My Deltas work great, Stop well, are progressive, strong. Like front derailleur setup, depends a lot on the wrench. |

Different pads and rims may give more progressive control, but the rear wheel will still lock if you grab a big double handful of brakes. Sliding backwards off the seat to reduce weight transfer under heavy braking will delay or prevent the lockup and give the fastest stop. Trying to "finesse" the rear brake to keep the rear from locking in a panic situation is difficult....as I'm sure you've learned already |
