from berkely, CA, usa Date Reviewed: August 9, 2011 Strengths: Relatively easy to set up and bleed. Nice adjusters for reach and power/lever "feel". Best ergo/feeling lever of any brake I've used, reminds me of the XTR v-brake lever. Great modulation/feel, not like some brakes (hayes) that have a distinct "on/off" feel. Weaknesses: Post-mounts suck when it comes to trying to align the caliper. Uses mineral oil -- a mixed bag, really -- while there's no worry about eating paint, the brakes do tend to pump up a little on longer descents which I'd attribute to the mineral oil. It's not a deal breaker (I have these brakes on 3 bikes, I like them that much) but I do notice it. No split clamp so you have to remove grips to get the lever off. The pads they come with stock squeal like mad in the wet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: fleabay Similar Products Used: Disc brakes from Shimano, Magura (never again), Avid, and Hayes (strokers, not bad but a little too "on/off"). Bike Setup: singlespeed.
