from Caracas, Venezuela Date Reviewed: June 11, 2006 Strengths: Light, great stopping Power. Even in heavy rain conditions; no matter if it's dry or mud, they will stop you. Better if you are ridding a hrad tail, rather than a FS bike. Weaknesses: Original pads are not good enough, and they are hard to find and expensive. try kool stop, dual compound if it's possible, and you will see how hard they will stop you. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Shimano XT, LX, Deore and STX-RC V's. And a sort of cantilevers such as Dia Compe, Shimano and many others. Don't like discs. Bike Setup: Hard tail, Manitou Mars Elite, Avid Ti, Race Face, etc, etc

After about a year of use, my rear brakes pin in the pin/bushing assembly broke on the left side and then broke on the right a week later, but Avid sent me free replacement parts inside two weeks so I'm still very happy with them.
