i'm a bit unhappy with mechanical rim brakes given my first "road" bike had hydraulic discs.
I'd look into just sorting out your calipers brake first, changing pads, ensure the cable run smoothly, maybe run Ultegra calipers (if you don't already).
Also different rims behave differently in term of braking performance, Fulcrum/Campagnolo wheels for instance work best with Koolstop Salmon, or Mavic/Shimano wheel work best with Swissstop BXP.

As much as I hate to admit it the anti-disk people are right in that you can get more than enough stopping power with well-adjusted rim brakes (assuming that it's dry and you don't have loads of weight on the bike). What are your brake pads/rims? Koolstop Salmons are incredibly good.

i'm thinking about getting the sram red hydro rim brake shfiters/brakes and derailleurs and pairing them with shimano 11 speed crank/cassette/chain.

any opinions on this combo/idea? it would have been cool if there had been an etap hydro rim brake group...
