>>1713756>can you confirm to me that they are way softer to pull (like, you can get full braking power with just one finger) and so result in less fingers fatigue on long (technical in my case) descents?-There are 4 and 2 finger models anon,
they vary in lever lengths.
as a 4 finger model user i have a very soft brake using my whole hand.
i'll try your one finger endeavor tomorrow out.
>Also they are self adjusting so you don't need to maintain and adjust them yourself as the pads wear, correct?
- pic related all the brake levers have a pad adjuster than you can turn in and out,this sets the distance between the pads and the rim.If you turn in all the way out you get a soft and spongy lever that almost touches your handlebars(with the 2 finger lever this might be exactly what you are looking for.)turn it all the way in it either starts to rub or you get a typical stiff brake performance similar to all well adjusted rim brakes.
I can't tell you if they are similar to disc brakes since i never tried them
>Finally, do you know what the main differences are between the HS33, 22 and 11?-Do check out the website,they list them.
as far as i know the cylinder stays the same and they expand in extras.With the Hs33 you get the brake boosters included which serve to cancel out pad vibration(noise)and to protect your brake bosses from breaking of or deforming. The form and functions of the levers change too,its similar to shimanos deore->xt->xtr(hs11->hs22->hs33).
The Hs11 is the barebones model afaik.
I think the Hs22 includes the nicer lever.
Also,when shortening the hydraulic hoses,buy the special tool,i did it with new cable cutters and they deform the housing slightly.
i hope you get a good deal, i paid around 90 eurocoins for a single one.
If you want pictures from my bike and the way i set them up,just let me know.
