Why?  It's because you've got new pads and discs.  Brand spanking new!  Of course you are going to feel the difference!

 Hi David,

My Dennis upgrade on the 85 is 17 inch wheels.  18 souds very nice. 

I also have the GW big brakes. 

My 84 is standard brakes and darned if they don’t seem just fine.  Better than my 85 ever was.
