More Hylex lever stuff:
Reading a bit on Sheldon Brown´s page it seem that a setup with more mechanical advantage (hylex lever to newish shimano caliper: +10%) gives a softer lever feel and more modulation. Maybe that´s why I like the setup with the flat-mount caliper.
The trade-off is pads run closer to the rotor so more zing noises and/or levers bottom out on bars .
