My comment about making the brakes weaker is the joke. Of course an inline spring only slows down the point where max force is attained.
As to the OP's question about removing the spring loaded noodle I say please do. You will find the feel is vastly improved. Andy (who knows how to modulate his brakes and doesn't need any stinking springs).
