| Pros | Great feel, good power once aligned work great there are many pad choices for them | | Cons | brake hoses are a bit thin and kink easy | | Verdict | 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. | | Verdict | 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. | | Verdict | 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. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| 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. | | Verdict | Even with the occasional squealing, I wouldn`t hesitate to buy these brakes again. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Great stopping power. | | Cons | Using the 07 rotor on the rear wheel makes these brake squeal something awfull. | | Verdict | Find different rotors. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
