Thanks, I can never leave well enough alone. 90% of my fun is customizing things. If I had to do it again, I would have got the BB7 road callipers vs the mtb callipers, as they are designed for a shorter pull. Then I wouldn't have had to change the levers.
I live in an area that has some very steep hills. The Tektro brakes that came on the bike worked fine for flats, but struggled on the hills. My first thought was just to replace the calipers with some Avid BB7 mtn.
