Strengths:    Strong leaver feel, stands up to abuse

Weaknesses:    Heats easily, lots of fade due to increase in heat.

Bottom Line:   
an excellent feeling braking system, when its cold. due to the small disc size/calliper body it seams to heat up very quicly, even on a short 2 min downhill, i managed to fix the problem by fitting a larger rotor.

there can be problems with squeeling, however this is only if you manage to knock it out of allignment, in which case just reallicn it and its fine.

i'm normally not a fan of Shimano's products but i do recomend their brakes...especially this.
