from Durham, NC USA Date Reviewed: May 11, 2003 Strengths: Very simple design, very light. Looks good. Weaknesses: I'm not a fan of cartridge pads, so after losing the actuall pads on trails and having to be careful back to the car a couple times, I've replaced them with full shoe pads. These also have lots of play in them, and because of thier design, they are unable to be taken apart to have a washer put in to fix the play. Also, since you cant take them apart, whatever dirt gets in them, stays. Thus giving you a rougher braking feel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any singletrack with up/downhill Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Came on 99 Stumpy' Similar Products Used: Many other V-Brakes
