Have you got the right m/c for them calipers??

Wrong m/c = shit brakes.



Or, the usual tie the lever to the bars and see if that helps..

Have you tried putting discs on your wheel? I sometimes find that helps with braking problems :grin:

get some thicker soled boots, you'll stop better when you put your feet down!
