The deal: Tiagra 4700 shakes and cross levers to TRP EuroX mag cantis.
The issue: any braking effect from the shakes is pretty much non-existent. Braking from the cross levers is OK, but not great, with a really big amount of force required on the levers. Sometimes it will squeal or chatter. Haven’t tried changing pads or a brace yet, cause just haven’t yet. I have the 4700 calipers that came with the groupset, debating about shifting over the Ken or the Clauxmont frameset and running calipers instead.
It was pretty crap with the previous Centaur V2 as well. Tried all sorts of straddle heights and such with no real improvement. The front hanger is pretty high, steerer mount is the only option.
TBH i just did this, it was easier than trying to work out cantis
Its weird the braking from the brifters is shit though. Should be minimal impact which crosstops. Maybe the cable routing into/out of the cross tops is not great? I ditched them as well when I went mini vee on the old CX bike
Maybe so. Wonder if I will still get chatter on the fork with mini-V. Will scout the parts box, might have some. I do like the frame aside from the not-stopping thing.
