My bicycle has two sets of brake levers: one on the drop, and another near the top of the handlebar. When riding, I find that the drop-levers work great and I can stop quickly if I need to. The levers on top work as well, though not to the same degree.
I don't mind it terribly that the higher-up levers aren't as effective, primarily because I usually use those brake levers for low-speeds and more gradual stopping, but if there is a way to adjust it then I am all ears.
My question is this: Is it normal for two sets of levers to have different responses on the same brakes?
