I have buget tektro jobbies on the long bike. But I have them wired to speed dial 7 levers. You can adjust both reach and gain. So its simply a case of setting the reach to hand size, the stationary pad to a hair from the disc, and then dialing in the gain untill the pull bottoms out just before the lever hits the bars.
Together with the 203mm front, and 180mm rear rotors. They feel like they would stop a truck. Which is what I'll need with 85kg of me, 24kg of Minifurry 1, 16kg of Minifurry 2, 15kg of baggage, and 16kg of bike, to stop.
