I've never been 100% happy with the disc brakes on my commuter.
It came with Tektro calipers and rotors. I upgraded the calipers to TRP Syphre's and Shimano resin pads. This made a marginal improvement.
Im now thinking that changing the cables to compressionless or the rotors / pads may improve the braking?
The brake outer is currently Jagwire CGX-SL. Would I be better off changing the cable to compressionless, or upgrade the rotors and pads, or both?
