It doesn't comport with common experience, that with 105 calipers, and Swiss stop pads, you can't lock up even your back wheel at 10mph in dry conditions.
Something other than the type of brake (caliper) is going on here.
Yup, something ain't right. My dad (engineer and bike nut) is coming down tomorrow to have a look see. After that I've exhausted all options and it's time to choose a replacement... still not sure what to go for but based on
dnuzzomueller's experience above I'm thinking mini-V might be a poor option. Maybe I should just pony up for a cx fork and BB7 disk brake...
