I'll have to save VeloBase for the future. I run Shimano R650 and R451 on a few bikes and for a modern dual pivot with 50-55mm reach these are my favs. I have had Campy NR/SR calipers since 1976, so for a single pivot they're still my choice.
Even though I've worked on a few thousand bikes' brakes I still note how such a simple system of levers and cables can feel so widely different between various brands and grades. Andy
