Date Reviewed: May 28, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Paradise Creek Bikes | | Strengths: | Hard to adjust | | Weaknesses: | Concealed Spring | | Similar Products Used: | Avid, Protech, and most of the Shimanos | | Bike Setup: | '97 Fisher Mamba (heavily modified) | | Bottom Line: | I got these to replace my old cantilever breaks, and I had a hard time adjusting them to fid my frame. It seemed like the slot was not long enough to get them where I needed them. Once I got them working, they have not given me much trouble.
One trivial complaint: almost every other brand of breaks have the spring on the outside, so to center them quickly you can just bend the spring a little bit. These use a coil spring, so you can only center them by turning the set screw. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
