I've got a bike with an old Weinmann 70mm reach centerpull brake on the rear. Even with a decent brake lever, the braking power is still not sufficient to make the wheel skid. Will I get better performance by replacing it with a new Tektro R556 sidepull brake ($40) or it's an inherent weakness of all long-reach calipers?
