Thanks for the tips mnr3.
Indeed my cables are a little generously routed, and I will try cutting them back. I don't know how to recognize v-brake/linear pull levers, so I don't know if that is the setup, but it is the original bought with the bike, not an after market change.
Good points on technique.
I guess one thing I find aggrevating about needing to squeeze awfully hard to get to a panic stop is that I often like to operate the brake levers with only some of my fingers, letting some of the rest remain wrapped directly around the handle bars for more security. That used to be easy with my v brakes, but is not enough power with these calipers. Hope I can improve them some.
