- Does anyone find that Campy brake levers are a bit "stiff"?
- I just installed some of their "cantilever" levers (Athena/Chorus
- that pull more cable and lack Q/R-button) and find that they
- just don't spring back all that well. I realize that they lack
- the ubiquitous return spring found on Shimano and Dia-Compe levers,
- but it's pretty noticeable. I've checked the cable/housing path
- for kinks/excess, lightly lubed the housing, increased the spring
- tension at the brake (987 cantilevers), but nothing seems to help.
- Do they just need to brake in?
