Most all the roller brakes I have serviced and test ridden after suffered from "mushy" feel. I don't like this. However I more don't like the lack of backpedaling ability so will never run a pedal operated brake of any type.
Since I don't know if the roller brake hub you have operates the brake with a cable/lever or by backpedaling I don't know if my reply applies.
Some of the Shimano IGHs have been modular in their design and the braking portion can be changed out. Don't know if yours are these.
Will you be running a ft brake? Andy
