Pros: construction, heavy duty, brake performance, cheap upgrade, full size pads, easy to fit, comes with bolts, includes new noodle
Cons: careful with spring alingment, 2 man job
"bought a pair of these to upgrade sons jump bike and use his to upgrade a new bike with inferior quality components these are very good heavy duty come with full size pads and were at the time i got them half the ticket price of in store price you need to be careful fitting the fronts were harder to fit than the rears but that could be down to the forks on the jump bike and the frame overall brake performance is up stopping power and feel is improved with no hint of flex from the brake legs themselves all in all a good cheap way to improve brake performance without paying shimano money"

Pros: excellent quality at a bargain price
"Priced these brakes on the website but when I got to store they were quite a bit more expensive (I hadn't reserved them).
Checkout staff checked the web price and I got them at that price plus an extra discount. Bargain. The whole set of calipers and pads worked out cheaper than just the pads."

Pros: price colour quality.
Cons: pads supplied are basic
"I bought this little unit to replace the Promax unit that has been on my Ridgeback bike for 8 years. It is supplied with all the grease, screws and everything you need, except the hex key to attach it.
My back brake works fantastic now and stop better than the aged set. Also being new and freshly greased the callipers work great, were easy to set up and align."

"These brakes were better quality than the original ones they were bought to replace, much better materials were used and build quality was also very good. These came with everything required to quickly and easily change the brakes over.
It help that there was a clamp system to hold the cable in place as opposed to having to try to weave a frayed brake cable through a little hole and tighten it up simultaneously.
Overall good product easy to install and adjust even for a novice."

Pros: very smoothe
"well they a far better then the original ones. very easy to tune.(clean n lightly grease the studs). works super on my 700c wheels. using them with clarks brake levers as the original plastic ones broke when bike fell. they have made a BIG difference in stopping power. still new, so over time will really know the worth."

Pros: easy to centre, responsive
"I needed these because a bike I bought had a faulty part to one of the rear callipers and an odd design as well. These callipers are by design unable to fault. They are, as V-brakes in general, quick and easy to set up. You can quickly tighten the pads against the wheel rims and then quickly centre the pads using the adjustable screws. Of course you can also adjust the 'spring' by slotting the springs into one of three holes. I like the spring tight rather than loose.
Point to mention: I tried these on a light bike and they stopped the bike quick but I tried these on a heavy dirt jump bike and they were very slow to - slow the bike! The brakes are good though so heavy bikes probably need another type of brake!"
