madass price!Weaknesses: levers are OOOGLEEE
Bottom Line: reely good value.i got these for 72 bucks complete with levers.great stopping power. these are the same as the xt, maybe with a few more grams.they are great if you dont want the price and weight of discs, but want decent brakes. however, DO NOT ride these in wet or muddy conditions without changing the pads: they squeal like hell.

Strengths: Looks great on my bike. Wild stopping power when paired with Tektro boostersWeaknesses: The pad can twist while you're tightening itBottom Line: I only got them a few days ago at the bike show, but they are working way better than my STX-RC. They look better, work better and don't have any signifigant weaknesses.

from BerkeleyDate Reviewed: March 22, 1999
Strengths:
Bonehead simplicity
Lightyears over old sidepulls
AffordabilityWeaknesses:
pad replacementBottom Line: For a very low price these braked are a remarkable value. The V-brake stopping power sets a new standard which is only now being surpased by a fledgling disc brake market. These LX's are simple to set up and maintain. One might go to XT or XTR but the weight savings is less than 10% and the cost is more than 50 % higher for XT and 100 % for XTR. On some bikes this just doesn't make any sense.
