Your words, not mine. I may have used words like "poor" and "disappointed" and phrases such as "lack of," but I never used the word "bad" as a description the calipers. You're the one who did that just now. You seem to be hung up on equating the issue I've had with simultaneous piston movement with "bad." In fact, the calipers do look and feel robust, solidly built, and nicely finished (for what they are, that is,) and the knocking off of certain Tektro/TRP calipers comes right down to the additional piston return springs on top. It's the actuating arm that could use a redesign, possibly in favor of a one-piece affair that could eliminate the issue.
