Well, I decided to do some tooling on my bike, so I bought a set of Avid 03 Disc Brakes off Ebay. Due to various complications it took me a while, but I just finished installing the front break (I recommend replacing one break at a time and waiting a few days in between, that way if there is some wrong with the installation you still have one of your old, working breaks). It appears to be calibrated well, but I need to use more pull on my brake levers than I like. I think the travel length on the brake arm is longer on my new brakes, which means I might need to get new brake levers with a better pull ration to get it working the way I like again. I'll take it for a test drive and see what I think. I have a feeling I am going to be bidding on some Avid Speed Dials.
