why is my front rim braking power like a frikin marshmellow in a furnace, useless. its carbon rim, bianchi branded calliper and prince-swissstop pad (mated to 9 speed ultegra STI).
should i upgrade the calliper?? duraace FTW?
Shimano 5800 calipers would be a decent upgrade. They can usually be found second hand for less than £40 or buy new for around £25 each.
They won't necessarily work well with levers of that age: cable pull has varied over the years.
It's entirely possible that they'll work fine though.
