Out of interest, what do you lose / gain with the problem solver? Do you lose immediacy in return for less fussy pad adjustment?

MTB levers pull more cable. Road levers have more mechanical advantage.

So I guess you lose some mechanical advantage in return for more cable pull.

So long as the levers dont become too hard to pull (when using a road caliper, calibrated for high advantage), and the caliper doesnt simply bottom out. Its a neat solution.

The fact that Dammit has'nt reported the brake bottoming out early. Makes me think that road BB7s have an issue.
