that sounds like a compatibility issue between the levers and the calipers. Don't avid suggest a certain pull ratio or even just list a handful of other manufacturers brakes that will work with their calipers? (Question, not rhetorical) I fitted brakes with the wrong leverage ratio once, like squeezing a brick and no power to slow me down.
