Maybe Avid's QC is crap and you have to get lucky?
There’s always sus looking sellers doing then mega cheap on eBay etc, I dunno if they are all out fakes or the ones that get rejected at QC going out the back door. Kinda suspect the latter and that these ones are the root of much of the issues. I once bought a pair of callipers from one of these listings and one was fine, the other really lacked bite. I stripped them down and I can’t remember exactly but I found two washers where there should be one in the one that wasn’t really working.

MTB BB7s on two bikes here - one with drops + Tektro RL520 levers runs lovely (despite the long cable to rear with full-length outer, cable ties everywhere and a bend before the brake that is really too tight); the other is a PITA, requiring constant adjustment (set up with flat bars & levers and by the book with much better cables, etc.). Maybe Avid's QC is crap and you have to get lucky?
