from Litchfield, CT Date Reviewed: August 26, 2009 Strengths: Looks good, cheap Weaknesses: Installed on a tandem with travel agents, the rear brake lever could bottom out and the front took too much effort. No bite, scarey unsafe compared to my antique Peterson self actuating cantilevers. The bearing surface is too loose also. Would not use on a tandem or a rear mountain bike brake. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mt Washington, MA Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Shimano Deore XT and XTR Peterson self actuating cantilevers.
