Found some DuraAce AX brakes, for cheap because a part of them was missing. Despite their bad reputation, I was very keen on having / using them.

Made the missing part on saturday, installed the brakes on sunday. I have to agree with what's been said before, their braking power isn't amazing... Should improve with new pads, these are very dry, although hardly used. I will keep them for now, they are not bad to the point they would be unsafe to use I think, and they look great on the Roberts...

Neat work! Presumably you could alter the braking characteristics by making cams with different profiles. Do you reckon you could improve their stopping power a bit by tinkering with that?
