from Philippines Date Reviewed: February 18, 2002 Strengths: Great stopping power...almost endoed on a level street when I started using them. Lots of ways to adjust. I can slap on any wheel set and I'm almost sure I can find a way to fit the brake on them. Weaknesses: Lots of ways to adjust. Times when your brain is mush, you just don't appreciate the democracy it gives you in adjustment. There is such a thing as tweak-weary mindset. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mt. Makiling Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Specialized (At least that's what the shop's name sez..) Similar Products Used: I was using an XT canti before...it's a shock to experience a low end product beating what used to be the top end of the pecking order, in terms of stopping power. Bike Setup: Let's just say I got a Cro-Mo hard tail with standard gague tubing running on Shimano guts. If you care to know the details, look up my review of the RST 381 EL.

from Shaw,SC,USA Date Reviewed: August 16, 2001 Strengths: None Weaknesses: These are actually Deore V-brakes, but I didn't see that as a catagory, and I think everybody needs to know what junk these(Deore) are. They are incredibly hard to install, the springs in the calipers are not of equal strength and the bolts that secure them to your bike are lightweight (I broke one of them). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lynches Woods Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Buddy's Similar Products Used: Avid Bike Setup: XT,Mag 10,Ritchey rims
