well I got it for my wife. she is blind and I couldn't find what I needed in
locally. I needed brakes that I could change the noodle to the left on my forks
so I could get rid of this big loop of cable housing. burley sure did not plan
for this on their convertible bents. all they had to do was put the brake
bosses on the back of the fork.
well I had a choice of pauls components (wanted them the most) or avid
ultimate or cane creek's top. those two were 80.00 each and pauls was 115. ebay
was pretty much out because they always got overbid. the last pauls was new in
the bag and it went for 165.00 when they retail for 115.
I bid on this set and knew I would be outbid but I was not
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7148011155
put them on and man am I impressed. I used the same pads and holders that were
on my sucky avid single digit 7's and the power is far more 1 finger is more
then enough compared to two or three fingers for the avid's with the same
levers. Plus the tension is really light so the brakes have that nice easy feel
to them. once I figured out how to mount them setup was real easy. these have to
be the easiest brakes to setup. pad adjustment is so easy compared to everything
else. the pad is kept square to the rim and you adjust everything else with the
pad holder not the pad.
