ANY!!!!!!!!

Giant Xtc 900'99 Mars Elite, XT, sram 9.0 brakes
Bottom Line:
The best V brakes without parell push. I use LX canti brake levers, and Sram 9.0, and I'm alive :))) Better than LX!!! I give 4 chillis becouse of XT :)))))) They are only comparable with XT, i have never ridden top Avid brakes, so I can not compare with it. The Best relation price to value on market!!!!!!!!!

Strengths:
simple, light, strong braking, cheap
Weaknesses:
the "shark fin" doesn't really aid unhooking the brake.n Adjustments take forever...
Bike Setup:
1994 Stumpjumper M2 with 1" Judy XC.
Bottom Line:
Good Stuff, this is my first pair of linear brakes. Adjustments are nerveracking, maybe that's the same for all v-type brakes. Less parts than than the parallel push design, and it looks pretty slick.

Strengths:
Works very good. The deore xt is just a bit better but it costs twice as much so its not worth it.(here in hungary)
Weaknesses:
Haven't whitnessed any.
Similar Products Used:
Alhonga linear pull break
Bike Setup:
Magellan Pyxis, Psylo xc ,sram 9.0 , deore xt
Bottom Line:
I didnt expect it to be so good and it's very cheap. I thought of buying a deore xt but its twice as much and after trying it, it wasnt worth it. But ill probably buy disc brakes next year.
