You ran a full cable housing on your CAADX before moving to hydraulic didn’t you?
To be fair, Cannondale doesn’t use compressionless housing at the time, and for some reason not build very well (lots of friction on brakes).
A full compressionless cable housing make a big difference in braking performance, Ive just finished a bike build from scratch where the rear TRP Spyre felt exactly like the front, nice and sharp.

Yeah, it was terrible, which is why I went hydro

I get all this friction/compression less cabling, I was more concerned with damaging the carbon frame with the force of pulling the cable on the frame stops but as I am going to use a full length outer this is now a moot point.
As a side note the rear BB7 on my Croix de Fer pulls almost better than the front with full length Lifeline linear cabling.

Nah, scoble is wrong, you'll have more friction on the cable for the longer it goes through the outer housing. Using the cable stops will reduce the amount of cable that's rubbing on the outer and make the brake pull smoother.
