I sure do. I had a set of Sachs calipers (original equipment) on my old Peugeot for a long time. I decided to change them out after a steep downhill in which I realized I wasn't really slowing down much and the pads were smoking. You squeezed the levers and everything felt "springy". I installed some Shimano Parapuls (similar in function to the Delta's but not nearly as pretty) that worked much better. Can't find pads for those anymore.
