Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by lamunyan   on November 5, 2009   Pros For entry level I believe these are the right brakes to use. So far very reliable easy to adjust and replace the pads. Long down hills on the brakes. I have not had any problems. Cons Not adjustable...looking for the upgrade. Verdict Good brakes..good for weekend fun rides. reviewed by JDH   on November 3, 2009   Pros They stop my 200lbs @$$ on the steepest trails with no problem. Have not had a single issue with these breaks. They even work perfectly when wet and or muddy. Cons None so far, had them for the last year Verdict Anyone who doesn't want to spend more for the same preformance. reviewed by element22   on October 21, 2008   Pros Simple use no extra adjustments. Crisp feeling...Great for first time riders you don't need more than this. Cons A little bit short on stopping power for heavier riders Verdict A great brake for the occasional rider and first timer flawless braking for a fraction of the cost Recommended for: First-time buyers
