Thanks people. I'm currently in the process of sanding and polishing the carbon mudguards, having given them several coats of clear Plastikote. I'm planning on using the standard calipers, Kllow14, but with Swissstop Green pads. A brake caliper's basically just a lever in my book, and unless it's made of cheese changing the caliper's not going to make much difference to the braking. Changing pads, on the other hand, can make a real difference.
Time will tell if this utterly convincing theory is entirely correct or complete bollocks.
