This is interesting as I also have a hunq with cx70 brakes that feel squishy. I recently adjusted them and added kool stop pads, and found the squishiness increased, which worried me. I did a 60 mile ride yesterday and adjusted the brakes a couple of times during the ride (once to alleviate squealing, and once to tighten up the front). On the last leg, a skunk ran out in front of me and I was able to stop on a dime, so I figure that the power is actually pretty good,despite a sort of slow modulation feeling. 2 things: since switching to road levers from mtb levers, the brakes have felt less powerful...perhaps this isn't true. Setting these up with the pads extremely close to the rims is the only way I've found them to be effective, though this makes wheel removal difficult and the brake allignment more finnicky. Do you know which size spacer you are using for the pads? Also, I've heard switching to a traditional straddle cable offers better adjustment. I'm not sure that I'm good enough at adjusting cantis for that to improve my situation though.
