Pros
Bleeding these brakes with the Avid Bleed Kit makes this process so easy anyone can do it.
Cons
Replacing pads can be pain if the piston gets stuck out.
Review
I replace my hayses hydrolics to these and I've really been happy with the results. Yeah, there are times when the rotors will squell a lot but hey that just lets the deer know that I'm coming their way.

Pros
Adjustable reach and pad contact dial make personal setup a breeze.
Cons
Noisey at times
Review
I run a 185 rotor front and rear on my trail bike and the stopping power with one finger is outstanding.

Great feel, good power once aligned work great there are many pad choices for them

brake hoses are a bit thin and kink easy
Review
recommend for most riders if you want light purchase Ti bolts
Pros
Good all around brake system! Great stopping strength!
Cons
Toooo much sqealing from these brakes.
Review
Also try Hayes

Pros
Good all-around brake system. Not quite the lightest, most adjustable, or most powerful, but possibly the best combination of all three.
Cons
Still can't eliminate all the squealing.
Review
This may be the best brake (that won't break the bank) for the all-around rider. I replaced my worn out Hayes El Caminos with these. They aren't quite as light and don't have the adjustability of the El Caminos, but they are more reliable/trouble free. The tradeoffs have been worth it.

Pros
Good modulation, good stopping power, easy alignment.
Cons
Hmmm, my brakes take bouts of squealing every now and then, and yes I`ve tried just about everything imaginable to get them to stop.
Review
Even with the occasional squealing, I wouldn`t hesitate to buy these brakes again.
Pros
Great stopping power.
Cons
Using the 07 rotor on the rear wheel makes these brake squeal something awfull.
Review
Find different rotors.
