from London, ON, Canada Date Reviewed: July 21, 2005 Strengths: Great all around. I have found no thing wrong with them and they stop in all conditions Weaknesses: I have heard the squeeling problem and have it on one bike. I have 2 bikes with this set up (trials and race). I think it has to do with the different parts on the bike. I can get them silent on the race bike but the trials bike is impossible but its work it for the power and modulation.
