Hi,
I have installed a front disc brake (a TRP HY/RD) on my bike which worked really well with the no name brake lever that came with the bike, but the ones included in the BBS02 kit travel a much farther distance before the brake is applied. You can see the callipers moving from the first bit of movement, but it takes quite a lot to actually make them press against the disc. So much so that the lever almost reaches the handlebars, even though there's absolutely no cable slack.
The levers I have are the silver motorcycle-style levers and not the black ones I've seen elsewhere. I've read that there different kind of levers, with long and short cable pull. Do you guys know what these are and would it help to replace the levers with some other model?
TL;DR: I want my levers to travel less and grip the disc sooner, for a better brake feel.
