You don’t seem to be getting it. I have no need for compressionless housing because I don’t need an “increase in stopping power” nor do I feel any “sponginess in the levers”. I live in the mountains, am heavy, do off-road bike packing on those mountains, and even have Klampers on a tandem which are short pull with really, really long cables. My brakes have never been hot because I know how to brake to keep from heating brakes, even on fast, steep, rocky downhills.
With all my gear including water and tools in a Camelbak, this bike was carrying 67 lbs in addition to my 230 lbs.
I am not getting it at all. This is about seeing if somebody has set up the brakes the way that I and the reviewer have done for a comparison or opinion on how the brakes work. I contacted Paul about the heatsink KoolStop sintered brake pads. He seemed interested in them. I have had no negative feedback from Paul on using the compressionless housing. Paul also sent me four of the newer KLAMPER ADJUST DETENT KITS. They are three pieces. 1 Ball, 1 Spring, 1 Set Screw. I weigh more than you and actually need the 12 to 14 percent more braking power that some people estimate you get from compressionless housing. You having the Klampers on four of your bicycles tells me that you do like dependable american made parts. I got rid of the squalling from the front brake by replacing the TRP rotor with a Magura ebike rotor. I enjoy some of these back and forth interactions and have learned alot from you and others on the forum. Well it is veteran's day and I am heading out to eat for free!
