I have an R700 Cannondale, a few years old now, that has been as solid as a rock... except for the brakes. I have tried all manner of pad options and combos with similar results. This is my first roadie and am perhaps still pretty green, but are the Thetas just ****? I have been eyeing off the SRAM Force/Rival set as an option for replacement. Oh, I am running the standard Shimano R550 wheelset and the braking surface is in fine condition.
