    Strengths:Nice looks, strong, good stopping power
    Weaknesses:pads wear fast, that would be the only one
    Similar Products Used:Shimano Alivio
    Bike Setup:Shimano Deore & Deore Lx
    Bottom Line:Good brakes, I get even good stoping power even using only one finger. The frame used to bend, but with the booster, it works just fine, I was thinking of Disc brakes, but frankly these suits me just fine for now

    Favorite Trail:nicoles, gear jammer
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Purchased At:came with bike
    Strengths:look nice, strong for about a month.
    Weaknesses:pads wear out every month and cost a whole lot to replace for v-brakes and the springs that keep them from sticking to your rim wear out really fast.
    Similar Products Used:any v-brake
    Bike Setup:2000 rocky mountain spice w/bash gaurd, Mavic d521 silver rear rim,
    FSA the pig DH head set
    Bottom Line:This product is just plain dumb. it costs $30 a month to replace the brake pads and after using them long enough they stay stuck to your rim. I sugest disk brakes. im getting hayes hydralic.

    Date Reviewed: January 12, 2001
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $45.00
    Purchased At:Bungay's bicycle shop
    Strengths:They look good.Fairly strong.
    Weaknesses:Crappy linkage. Bearing's come loss quick,Better off buying "XT".Their far better!!!Or try scam or avid for real stopping power.
    Bike Setup:Rocky Mountain,XT/XTR,517's,race face, syncros
    Bottom Line:Stay away from the big "S" brakes.Try avid single digit 25 or sram 9.0.Shimano's linkage becomes worn fast and is not that powerful!!!

    Date Reviewed: May 31, 2000
    Favorite Trail:bikeshow
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Strengths:Powerful, look good,
    Weaknesses:Pads wear moderately fast
    Similar Products Used:alvio, acera, altus, lx cantilever
    Bike Setup:Specialized Rockhopper comp fs, manitou sx-d with englunds, lx xt drive
    Bottom Line:These brakes are powerful and very quiet. All these people that complain about poor modulation have flexy frames and forks. With my fork there is top quality modulation, I need a booster for the rear but they are really nice. Parallel push works very good. Just one thing is that the pads are of a somewhat low quality and get worn. I still think they are real nice.
