from Atlanta, GA Date Reviewed: June 12, 2007 Strengths: Clean, cartridge pads are neat. Weaknesses: They are actually not that strong. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $29.00 Purchased At: Nashbar Similar Products Used: Avid Single Digit (1st generation): amazing power and modulation, but adjusting spring tension was a joke. Shimano LX v's (1st generation): easy to set up but chunky style and so-so performance. Stock no-name v's on my 2000 Fisher Tassajara: best of the bunch, not as powerful as the Avids but the simplest and easiest to set up.

from Tychy, Poland Date Reviewed: January 18, 2004 Strengths: - modulation I am able to control the stopping power they apply, so that I get 100% effectiveness. (with the same levers I had with my tektros, that worked in a binary (brake/not_brake) mode. - strenght its easy to perform an OTB, but You can easily feel the moment when the rear is getting airborne. - durability 3000km on the original pads. the brakes themselves are in excellent condition. - easy to maintain I've set them 3000km ago, the maintance I've done was to shorten the line from the lever (the pads are almost dead :^) ). - original kool stop pads work excellent on dry conditions. wet (semi-winter) conditions - excuisite (they quickly get the water off the rim, and brake... but do it in a modulated way, so You are able to keep the wheel from skidding on slippery surfaces). Weaknesses: none at the time... well... they tend to bend the pivots in my fork... :^) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: tektro, shimano Bike Setup: giant boulder '02, most stuff changed, trying to modify to 100% no-shimano bike, with as many sram components :^)
