Well, I did ride the bike home from work this morning... in fairly heavy rain. The toe-in did seem to help a bit, I was able to stop going down hill where I normally dragged my feet. I'm going to replace the cables today... probably with something like shimano or jagwire, whatever the lbs has.
Yes, I do have aero levers and housings and I made sure the cables housings firmly contacted the levers. I did that by setting the brake up, then squeezing the lever and taping the housing with electrical tape while under compression. I also file the ends of my housings after I cut them.
