Does anyone have any opinions or scoop regarding how well the Tektro R725/Oval A700 behind-the-fork brakes perform? For some reason I remember something about how that placement behind the fork is a bad idea braking-wise, and perhaps no benefit aero-wise? I’m looking to pimp my bike and these are certainly different, but I hate sucky brakes.
(And if anyone hasn’t figured it out yet, if you find a brake or brake lever and it’s not a funky-looking botique brake like a Zero Gravity or not a Shimano/Campy/Mavic it’s almost always a re-badged Tektro.)
