These brakes require a lot more effort to stop that any of my other six bikes (well not the track bike).
They're a little mushy and spongy.
Maybe you've already tried this, but it's easy to overlook- the brake posts have a series of concave washers, some are thicker than the others. If you have the wrong thickness on the inside you won't get good braking no matter how you set them up. It's either the thick or thin washers on the inside. If your brakes look like they slant too far into the rim and the thin washers are on the inside, then put the thick on the inside. If your brakes look like they slant too far away and the thick are on the inside, put the thin on the inside.
