The Setup:
I have the Baer Track front/Touring rear set up installed. The brakes have 500 to 600 miles on them. Here's some details on the set up:

Manual set up (no booster).
MC is the Baer supplied unit and I believe it's 15/16".
Using a Baer adjustable prop valve mounted on the frame in the rear brake line. Currently turned out all the way so there should be 57% line out pressure. (Heavy bias toward the front, correct?)
System was bled a few times when installed.
No leaks in lines.
Pedal set up in correct specified pivot holeThe Issue:
The brakes don't feel like their biting as well as they should considering 13"/12" rotors. The rear rotors show good wear marks and I see brake dust on the rims. The front rotors look virgin and I can still see the original cut marks. There's virtually no brake dust on the front rims either.

What gives? Any ideas on what I'm missing. Thanks in advance for your input.
