I haven't seen or used Hermance's brake set up, no surprise, but i doubt there's anything special to it, a ground koxx rim, koxx pads, a well bled air free system, lever in the right position, good knowledge of his equipment and how to use it most effectively, id like to know what fluid he runs though, i've found it easier to get immense lock power when iv had a thick fluid, such as oil in my mag system.
