Buy them off the site if you like.
That story above has been around for a while and as always there are two sides to the coin. Buy what works for you.
I have a set or two for sale if you didn't want to hock out 5-600 dollars - let me know.
Otherwise - the brakes work great with the difference in action being mostly how the brake modulates. The power is really at the end of the pull versus the beginning. So it gradually gets stiffer - which is by design. If you like the feel of shimano or sram they obviously have there alu anodized models that respond that way. Either way - some cool color and bling to add to a nice bike
