More power on non-aero levers?
okay I have an 80's miyata 310 that i've been rebuilding lately. i just got some jagwire slick dura type pad holders and the stock rubber that came with them. while the braking is improved over the old dia-comp pads, i still feel that it could be more powerful. I am running stock Dia-Comp AC500 non aeros and single pivot sidepulls. i love the way non aero levers look on it and would not change to aero type. besides i'm sure there is a way to milk more power out of my current brakeset.
oh and i just replaced all housing with shimano xt teflon lined and Jagwire Kynar PVDF coated cables.
