Finally had time and inclination to swap out the brake levers on the Mercian. I replaced the Universal levers with Nuovo Records. I have not road tested them (it's pouring here) but just testing the brake action on the stand shows a big improvement. Smoother action all around, and lever pull effort is easier. I'll report back once I try the bike out on the road, hopefully tomorrow.
