This discussion should include what size TBU folks are using - 199 or 231. 231's seem to have more problems with ABS and soft pedal; very few examples of those issues with 199's.

Also, the primary benefit of TBU is not so much stopping power as it is higher thermal capacity and hence reduced likelihood of warping or fading when going down mountain roads.

The actual braking capacity is not likely to change unless you have crappy brakes - I was able to trigger ABS with the original brakes, and that's the limiting factor.

I'm very happy with my 199 upgrade, but again, not for the stopping power but for less fading and warping.
