Indy XC | | Bottom Line: | For a very low price these braked are a remarkable value. The V-brake stopping power sets a new standard which is only now being surpased by a fledgling disc brake market. These LX's are simple to set up and maintain. One might go to XT or XTR but the weight savings is less than 10% and the cost is more than 50 % higher for XT and 100 % for XTR. On some bikes this just doesn't make any sense. | | Overall Rating: |
