Weaknesses: Yeah they squeal so take out the pads and on a flat surface with medium sand paper deglaze them,no more noise. Bottom Line:

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: September 17, 2012 Strengths: cheap sets of brakes but very strong, decent stopping power and easy to adjust. Weaknesses: they squeal a lot and it's really annoying, but I don't care as long as they stop me when I ask them to. I've read all the comments about these brakes and I'm 100% sure most of the problems mentioned are a result of improper installation or adjustment Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:
$65.00 Purchased At: Ebay

from Evansville, IN, USA Date Reviewed: August 19, 2011 Strengths: They will stop you, maybe. Weaknesses: Brake fade is pretty intense after about a 2-3 mile ride. Im 6'6, 230lbs and Im sure the brakes were not designed to stop someone my size. Actually have to stop and let them cool off when on rides now as Ive become a better rider and going faster. Horrible to adjust and set up. Good luck if you have to take off your front wheel every time to load a bike as you will need your tools to readjust the brake so you wont get squeal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Scales Lake, Boonville, IN Duration Product Used: 3 months Bike Setup: Specialized Hardrock 29er, 21" frame
