I actually ordered one for my dirt jumper and two for the bike I am building. I love the way Avids have a soft feel to the brake, like you can get contact, but then still pull the lever more to get more power. And the carbon lever is amazing.

not really. modulation is the ability to modulate the amount of power you put into your brake. which all brakes have, but at varying levels.

I'm saying that you can still pull the lever and it will move on an elixir.

I dont know. If you feel a hayes brake, it feels like as soon as the pads contact the rotor, you hit a brick. Whereas with Avids, elixirs especially, you make contact, but you can still pull the lever. it feels spongier.

hahha yeah. I noticed it too. It's cool and all i just would feel kinda dumb wearing a shirt that says yacht club when I don't own a yacht or belong to a yacht club. Dat classy look is getting popular.

no, modulation is when you can modulate the braking power, which you can do with any brake.

whether or not you're talking about the feel of the lever, you defined brake modulation in those past posts a lot more than you defined the feel of a brake lever. whatever makes you happy though.
