Update on the Lyndall Z+ brakes on the ConV. I installed them front and rear and they do make a big difference. It's not just better stopping power, it's how the stopping power is delivered that makes such a difference. It feels much more linear and controlled and the best thing about them I don't think about braking anymore. I can even lock up that big 200 back tire but only after applying deliberate and sufficient pressure to do so but even then it was not sudden. So overall a nice and inexpensive performance safety upgrade that I can easily reccomend.
