If you're curious about the entire history, from my glowing first impressions through the eventual fix, you can find it all here: https://www.bikeforums.net/commuting/...rd-brakes.html

I recall that thread... I know I have the revised HY/RD's so I shouldn't have to pull the cover. In any case they work fine but given a reasonable solution I would reduce the lever throw.
