from Bozeman, MT Date Reviewed: April 14, 2011 Strengths: None Weaknesses: Hard to find replacement parts; most Shimano brakes are beautifully simple to bleed but for these you either need a kit to use the weird bleed valve or you need to remove the reservoir from the handlebar to get the reservoir level and you have to balance the thing in your hand and do a little dance (it's on the side, not the top); no power; no tech info on Shimano's website; can't get all the air out of the lines no matter how hard I try; fade when they get hot; no power; janky; no power. I'm not a negative person and I'm not into talking s***, but these are worthy of 0 flaming chili posting. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hartman Rocks Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Came w/ Bike Similar Products Used: Avid Elixer and Juicy; Hayes Stroker; Shimano XT; Magura Marta (I love every brake listed here for one reason or another) Bike Setup: Yeti 575; Shame on Yeti for spec'ing junk on a boutique bike

from Cagayan de oro city, Philippines Date Reviewed: February 24, 2011 Strengths: Nice grab, very soft grab and doesnt needed a large amount of effort for the braking power you're looking for Weaknesses: Squeeky when grabbed sometimes. But i sprayed some wd40 on the moving reach, then squeek goes away and back in the right track. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wesley's way Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $120.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Shimano m485, Avid Juicy 3 Bike Setup: GT aggressor 2009 with Deore XT groupset, Rockshox Psylo XC 2004.
