Another pain point has been the sram aerolink brakes - they just refuse to center. Less of a problem for the rear, but a major problem for the front where a 9cm headtube means unavoidable cable bend. I have already routed the brake cables in the EU/US way such that it gives the front brake cable a bit more space, but still it is causing too much push/pull for the brakes to center. So here I am, living the "I-told-you-so" moment, when the one (of the very few) agreement of the internet is to stick with shimano DA calipers.
With that said, I'm now looking for 7900/ 9000 brake calipers if anyone is looking to offload. 9100 for whatever reason seems to warrant a much higher price, yet I don't see how it performs any differently.
