from georgia Date Reviewed: June 6, 2003 Strengths: on gt timberline. Well, they stop me and will throw me off the bike if I am not careful. I weigh 180 lb. I am kinda' proud of myself b/c I have learned to adjust my brakes. You have to balance at the lever, at the cable, and the small screws for centering and they work fine. I usually clean the black crud off with alchohol as haynes repair manual suggest and they squeak very little, if at all. If I consistantly clean the rims I have sufficient stopping power. I have had mud, and still no complaint. Weaknesses: When it's wet , even raining, I had sufficient stopping power, but not when the black crud is left on, then there is almost no stopping power. If squeaking is occuring I would attribute that to a bent rim that needs truing or debri on the rim. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: yellow river Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: atlanta advertiser Similar Products Used: NONE Bike Setup: stock
