I think bite and power are being confused.

Yeah was thinking about this, I sometime read "bite" as in more on/off than a initial modulation, I feel bite is a bit vague.

The V brakes on my old saracen with koolstop pads have shit loads of bite, will happily throw you over the front at slow speeds, but not so good at stopping you rolling down a big rock when you get all scared but are already carrying some speed.

Think I get what you're saying, although the softer pads on rims brake felt more on/off compare to the harder wearing pads.

However more likely to worn out the koolstop on a descent if I drag it instead of feathering it.
