Great value
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Good Fit
"Obviously not top of the range, but stopping power is more than safe for getting through traffic, and they work well in the wet too. Definitely recommended"

Pros: Great Value, Attractive
"Look good although from closer inspection one can start to see the cheap quality, however it doesn't affect the braking as far as I can tell.
These brakes are a bit dodgy to adjust as the spring which releases the brakes sometimes stiffens up but it's no big deal, they carry out their intended purpose very well!

Cheap but good
Pros: Great Value, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: heavy
"I think the only thing wrong with this brake is that it is heavy. for the recreational biker this should not be a problem. long term durability has still to be assessed"

Great Budget Brake
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: it says "sora" on it!
"A surprisingly powerful stopper that's fared well in wet weather winter commuting, keeping its shiney good looks. the only thing that gives it away is the pressed steel tab to open it to release the wheel, but other than that there's no compromise on this brake. Outstanding value for money too."
