Great upgrade! I would say that it's a little bittersweet that you love them, because that means I can't buy them for my Hillborne, but I think we've dealt with enough Paul brake shipping malarky together for a lifetime hey? hahaha
I felt exactly the same when I put Motolites + Paul levers on the Bombadil. I couldn't believe it. Felt like absolutely bottomless power, and yet their modulation was fantastic. I have run V-brakes a whole bunch in the past and modulation has never been their strong point, until now. I expect a lot of the modulation is due to the levers, but regardless, what a heck of a pairing. They still don't hold a candle to disc brakes in the wet, but in the dry I'll take Motolites any day.
