Can you use them with longer pull brake levers such as the Tektro RL520 levers?
Even the RL340/Origin8 Classique/TRP RRL, etc all pull quite a bit of cable.
Shimano 5700/6700 or better?
I only have a pair of 340s, but it Is quite a hassle to change the handlebar, but I will give it a go as my last option.
I've noticed these brakes tend to perform much better with flat bar levers (IMHO is bit more like braking from the drops)
