really good brakes, odyssey is great! they are really easy to adjust and work with, the only thing I dont like is how the two arms can sometimes touch which is the only downside, otherwise some of the best brakes I have ran

very user friendley love this brake not a fan of the weight but guess thats why they came out with tht evo 2 and the finish tends to wear quickly and the metal seems soft but over good brake for the price

I had these brakes for probaly liek 2 years then the fly brakes came out and I was quick to get a pair of them. Now these brakes are on a bike I made for my girlfriend. and they are working fine.

I've got a pair. They break really good but they're not the lightest breaks out and they also aren't the lowest breaks you can have.

definately worth the money for the "on the budget" rider seeing that im too broke right now to afford the fly brakes but after riding the evolvers i dont know if ill ever go away from odyssey parts, (at one time 60% of my bike was odyssey parts)
just waiting to see some reviews on the evo2 brakes then i guess im buying those -

Stiff and comes with decent stock pads. Good directions and easy to install. they even printed the spring info on the brake arms so you can't screw it up. How cool is that? All the hardware for different set ups make these the most user friendly brake ever.

Best brakes ever. They may be a bit heavy for some, but the newer versions are alot lighter and i'm sure just as stiff and nice.

I love these brakes. Their setup was easy and they work great plus they're idiot proof. I have not once had a problem with them since I bought them a year ago.

They're great brakes, once dialed in they work really well. Not much flex i notice. My only gripe is the stradle cable sucks hard. It puts a sharp stress point on the cable since it has to make a 90 degree turn. Fortunatly i made my own out of the Long Mod it came with, the Evo 2s however fixed this cable hanger problem.

I lost one small screw but they still work properly. EVO I is great break, but EVO II is better, cause it's lighter and some parts have been upgraded.
It's worth it. -

I love this Brake. Had mine for a couple years now I think. I'll ride it til no longer possible thats for sure! I like the new version of it (EVOII) however I don't like how the springs are exposed. So I'll keep my old one and be extremely happy!

It's a great strong brake, but if you run dual rear cables like I do, you may hate the clamping system like I do. It's a minor thing, but enough frustration is involved to knock a star off.

easy to setup for a chimp......yet when set by a pro still arent quite amazing. i recommend fly. if you are going to get odyssey then at least buy kool-stop pads because odyssey pads must be made out the same material as your pillow

tell you what the new evo 2 is amazing and all yeah
but the lil bolts that hold the springs in
are weak as fuck
dont keep changing the setings on it just leave it lol
me and my mate both have this brake
and both broke it
by just tightening the springs for better response,
but in other words its a good brake -

Rode these brakes for 5 years. Never had any real problems with them, and I've run all possible setups: dual top and bottom, single, gyro...
Note: these are the first version of the Evolvers. Not the Evo 2.
These are worth the $40 and come with instructions. If you can't afford the Fly brakes, then get these. The Fly brakes are amazing though, and I could tell the difference immediately when I put them on.
well to tell u the i pretty much think these brakes rule. i just got them and i havent had a single problem with them. the only thing i dont like about them is the size...
