from Melbourne, Vic, Australia Date Reviewed: February 25, 2009 Strengths: Work fine when they work Weaknesses: Unreliable! I spent HEAPS of time returning them to manufacturer again and again each time the seized up. They would repeatedly squeak and jam. The manual adjustment design also means that they can need new breaking in after being tightened up. Piles of steaming crud. In the end even the Magura rep couldn't make them work and upgraded me to Julies for free. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Magura Julie. Quite good. Bike Setup: Cannondale F700
