Strengths: None at allWeaknesses: Spring is terrible. The arms are cheap aand heavy. The hardware is cheap and heavy.Bottom Line: What junk. Set up is IMPOSSIBLE! The spring is so weak it's incredible. Use AVIDs and be happy. Trust me it's not the levers. I got so fed up with these things rubbing my rims and losing up I had to get rid of them.

Strengths: When working, It brakes fairly well
CheapWeaknesses: No matter how much adjustment done to it. The spring wpould not hold hold harm aand it keep rubbing my rimBottom Line: This brake came with my Giant Iguana.The back brake was the broken first. The springs just would not hold the pad and it keep on rubbing my rim no matter how much adjustment. I just paid new Deore v-brake and my system is working properly. Would not recommend this brakes to anyone

Strengths:
The won't breakWeaknesses:
They won't brake.Bottom Line: I just spent the last hour trying to get these pieces of poop working on a friend's bike. Could be the levers, too, but anyhow the back brakes barely even work at all. Even though I'm a neophyte mechanic I can tell you there are better brakes that probably don't cost much more.
