We only rode it with two front panniers up to now, there’ll be plenty more luggage on it when we get to Japan. But they’re really, really good.
It’s my first time with cable discs, my previous tandem ran Avid Single Digits and they were good, but the Paul Klampers are better. The front one bites a lot, you can really feel it, to the point I have to modulate or call the braking so my girlfriend is braced for it.
Rear one is mushy, but I suspect that’s to be expected with such a long cable — there is very little outer on the rear cable, and whatever’s there is compressionless, so I don’t know if it can be improved. The rim brake on my previous tandem was no better.
