>>1765993>nightmare dia compe brakesDifferent strokes, I guess. I quite like when cantis have that spring nut/spring block, you can adjust them for the lightest possible lever pull. I think nowadays Dia Compe only makes one model in that style, but a bunch of the Paul Comp brakes use a similar system.
I have a pair of those Dia Compe 988s to use on an upcoming build, but haven't been able to test them yet... waiting on a headset.
