I have Avid mechanical disc brakes on my Salsa La Cruz cyclocross bike. I
am quite pleased with their power and modulation. I've never used Pauls
cantis but the Avids are definitely superior to the shimano brakes that I've
used in the past.

Anyone out there have experience upgrading from Paul Neo-Retros to Avid
mechanicals on their cross bike? I am interested in how it changed the
braking force, modulation (jerky feeling or increased skidding), feel of
the lever pull, and noticeable impact to acceleration due to the added
weight on the wheel. The problem I am trying to solve is that the Pauls do
not provide strong braking force on my bike even with new pads, new cables,
and scuffing the rim surface.

Thanks,
