@Yellow Saddle, as always, thanks for such a comprehensive reply!
It's an interesting point you make about holding on a hot brake and that (if I've read correctly) that could introduce some vibration - or shudder(?) into the equation. I've noticed an increase in shudder over the last month or so and I do typically hold the front brake on at stop signs, lights etc. Not a problematic amount but I'll ensure that the next pad change is a more thorough one and I'll report back.
It is my experience that Hy-Rd's feel a bit "spongy" compared to most other brake systems I've tried. It's neither here nor there for me, I have plenty of modulation and I have about 1 cm between bar and lever at full lockup.
Yes, holding a hot brake is one of the problems. Holding a hot brake is a nice way of expressing it. I've just stolen the phrase.
