I’ve eyed your steed many-a-time now and contemplated putting a set of drop bar MORF aero bars on it with SRAM hydro rim brakes. Alas, I can’t find anywhere where I can actually see one in person.
What do you need to see? Let me know and I'll see if I can get a pic for you...
Or, is it you want to "feel" them first? Lever feel up until pad engagement is the same as the disc versions (smooth, and stays that way over time). Statically (bike not moving) the pressure on the lever when the pads engage won't feel as firm as the disc version...but, when actually moving, that's not so much the case.
As you could probably guess, I'm not a big fan of the "see how brakes feel by just squeezing the lever with the bike stationary" test...
