The thing I don't like about them is how close they are to the tyre. A small amount of dirt on the tyre and there's all kinds of rubbing and scraping noises.
I haven't taken the bike down any big fast downhills but given how they work on my normal rides I can't imagine they'd be any worse than anything else. I don't know what levers they are being used with, I don't know how much difference it would make as long as they are some type of Campagnolo Record.


And I thought my Delta front brake was very close to my 23mm front tire on my Montello, but yours look like its so much closer. Do you have the height adjustment on the main mounting bolt maxed out already?
