Strengths: Well, they'll stop you, but without grace....Weaknesses: Butt-Ugly- unsightly cheap looking calipers...the levers work quite wellBottom Line: Well, I am still in love with the Avid - Pederson Se set up on my hardtail, so anything else is - to me - is inferior. they do work, regardless of what some of these snobs that have deep pockets and can afford the latest Shimolo Doo-hicky or Avid Arch supreme with cheese will tell you. there is nothing wrong with inexpensive bike parts as long as there is some degree of functionality...and they are reasonably safe.

Strengths: Went with other crappy components on bike, wont wear rims, cheapWeaknesses: Squeaky, mushy, slow to stop, hard to adjust, no good if dirty/wetBottom Line: This (cheap) breaks will prevent you from going so fast that your tires rip off the rims in dry, warm weather. IF you want to do anythign else, buy some Single Digit 3 Avids. They are cheap and they work.

Strengths:
Cheap , work greatWeaknesses:
None found yetBottom Line: Was getting a new fork, and none had hangers for cantis. LBS convinced me to try these, only $10 per wheel. They stop great, quiet, easy to adjust.
I use them with Tektro levers ($16 bucks each). I am a total retro-grouch, and thought I would never give up cantis. Glad I did, Better than any Shimano product I've tried.
