I guess I'm not discriminating enough. I've never regarded the Silvers on my Riv Custom as 'spongy'.
On my Tournesol I've got some fancy, pricy, Paul component centerpulls, mounted on centerpull posts, those brakes may be a bit more 'powerful' seeming than the Silvers. They don't impress me as being all that much better. In my world the Silvers are the value proposition when it comes to the balance of cost, performance, and lack of hassle. Maybe I'm a brake agnostic. -JimD On Jan 12, 2014, at 9:04 AM, Mike Schiller <[email protected]> wrote: > the downside is spongy feeling, lack of power and limited clearance for big > tires.
