from Oldham, England Date Reviewed: November 13, 2006 Strengths: Collect muck that would otherwise end up on you. And they stop the bike real fast, but only when going up hill. Weaknesses: These brakes aren't fit for purpose on wet and muddy trails. Don't expect them to help you make a controlled descent - get off and walk if you want to live. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pennine Bridleway (all bits) Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: Chris Paulson Cycles Rochdale Similar Products Used: A brick attached to some string - worked better than this pile of rubbish Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Xcaliber 29er.
