from Edinburgh Date Reviewed: July 26, 2003 Strengths: Easy to install and maintain. Materials are top notch & they look v trick. Weaknesses: Pads pick up splinters of metal (from the rim ?) which reduces the stopping power and further scores the rim. This requires frequent (fortnightly) clean outs. Another reviewer has suggested the these pads will last a year. This depends on your riding frequency, avge distance and terrain, for me they last 6 months (5 days a week, 4 on road and 1 off road = 60 miles per week on average) My next door neighbour bought a whole bike for less than the cost of the XTRs (they're not cheap). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Braemar to Cockbridge Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $60.00 Similar Products Used: Shimano LX, the XTRs are a different league. Bike Setup: Canondale F800 with XT all round except for the brakes.

from England Date Reviewed: March 16, 1999 Strengths: Easy to set up. Extreme Power. Even more extreme modulation. Exellent stock pads. (for a change) Work V.well in the wet Superb value. $15 from airbomb. Weaknesses: Yet to find any significant ones although if you want me to be realy pedantic....They are quite hard to set-up initially but once set-up well you don't need to touch them for a fair while. And The nut that holds the pads in seems to unscrew as normal until you get to the point you want where it seems to lossen too quickly. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Not saying because I built it and I don't want others wrecking it. Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: V-Brakes - Suck, no modulation. Most other canti's - fair but not half as good as the XTR kings. Bike Setup: Get rid of stock cable hanger and replace with after market one. For top notch advice on set-up go to bontragers site.
