I thought that the performance of these calipers, considering their Ultegra level standard, would be Ultegra level performance.
More or less, in this case, aftermarket brakes actually do have a significant improvement over the big brand offering, you won't get the exact same sharp bite like you would a rim calipers brakes, but the advantage of the sheer power outweigh the need for those sharp modulation*.
*actually you can get it, but you need to get the right mix of components to get that feel.

Yeah - if I really sit back and think, I'm being particularly shitty about this.
I really hammered it up and down Swaines last night and despite only doing about 15km really pushed the brakes as hard as I could, and they reacted exactly They should.
They weren't super sharp like the 9000's on the Trek, which ironically I think have got sharper since really dialling them in with carbon rims, but they just worked. Well. And stopped me.
I'm going to try and really fine tune them before going out tonight, but I think I'm being unnecessarily picky.
I think I'm also going to scrap the 160rotor on the front and see if a 140 helps me dial in a little better.
Ultimately I've only ridden the bike once for 15km, so I should probably give it a bit of time and a proper road test.

Maybe I'll try hydro next month. Maybe I'll just spend the money on some better wheels.
Maybe I'll just sell the lot and provide someone with a veritable bargain as per....
