    these brakes are one ofm those parts that just work no matter what condition they're in my spring cap was broke and the two bolts were striped so i couldn't adjust them but they would always work for me

    VERY affordable, great brakes! they work really great and SUPER easy to dial and tension in! I ran these for a long time and sometimes I regret taking them off still after a few months!

    Really cheap and spongy they will help you manual better, but dont lock up very well for abubacas and fufanus.

    A little bit flexi but that's what makes them good. Great feel and those green pads work great on chrome rims.

    You gotta love the hombres. I use these brakes and the set on my ride are starting to see some inside bushing wear. I have to say it might be time for dia tech to incorporate a seal bearing in these bad boys. I'm still giving the brakes a 5 star rating for their dependability and reasonable price tag.

    Good standard brakes. I would definitely get the fiesta pack for them since it lowers the stack height and looks cool with the green. Dia tech was way ahead with the anodizing colors, now everyone does it. definitey good brakes.

    These are light and stop great. Nice colors and cheap price. Cable routing can be tricky if you are doing a dual cable set up but otherwise, there is no reason to spend more money on a brake. These work. I suggest you make sure you are good at dialing brakes though. that is what really makes the difference.

    It's a great brake. It's strong, light and easy to work with. The fiesta pack bites my rim like a bulldog... wait that´s an old school, weak brake... anyway, it´s simple and good and such a huge relief from the pain that was to work with those 990 pads!

    Replaced my Tektros with these puppies, and they are a dream. Once I got them dialed it was like I had never ridden with brakes before! The work well and look sharp, expecially the Fiestas.

    they are cheap and they work good if you actually know how to set up brakes unlike some idiots out there who dont.

    good stopping power, but you have to re adjust them every month, the springs stretch out, and after about a year, they dont stop you for shit, also, the clamping bolt on the brake arm(not mounting bolt the one that holds the cable) strips out very easy.

    i just run them on the back untill the dont stop me, and throw them on the front, b/c it still works good enough for the front, and u wont flip as often.
