hi folks
i'm building up a new road bike and have to choose brakes. i want brakes that are quick to respond while riding on the hoods. right now i'm using a pair of coda calipers that i cannibalized from a cannondale. i can lock the wheels only when i'm in the drops where one has greater leverage. i'd like brakes that require less effort when on the hoods ( riding in nyc you need to be ready for the unexpected all the time). i've heard through the grapevine (don't know reliability of such info) that campy records have greater stopping power than shimano calipers. what do you all think?
thanks
bob
