According to the mechanic I talked to (not the manager) all the
Sprint STs they had seen up to that point (about a year ago) had the
same degradation in use.
I have heard that the 955i brakes are better in this respect - has
anyone got any experience with them?
I'd find it hard to argue safety, as the brakes still have plenty of
power, just more lever travel than I'd prefer.
