'wicked!!!'

Strengths:
work in all weathers better than all of my old v-brakes, very powerful(good for trials) one finger braking, very powerful.

Weaknesses:

Overall:
great powerful all weather brakes.

'powerful!'

Strengths:
these are very strong bran=es, and ideal if ure lazy like me and just use 1 finger. good in all conditions and look pretty dudey too.

Weaknesses:
i change my wheel setup every otherday so a bit fiddly to keep re-adjusting if a different width rim, but isn't that bad(havent invested in a service kit either yet). o yeh and the hoses dont fit on my on-one gimp but you can get the lug adaptors for not too much(i think).

Overall:
a good quality brake at i good high price(mine came in a cheapy package)but well woth it i would say.

'CRAPER THAN CRAP'

Strengths:
Nowt

Weaknesses:
Crap, levers snap, adjusters broken, pads changed 6 times in 8 months, take too long to set up.

Overall:
Dont get these brakes unless you have no brain or are sponserd by them. But then again who would actually want a sponsorship by them. CRAP.CRAP.........CRAP, AVOID IF POSSIBLE.

'WHY DIDN'T I GET SOME YEARS AGO'

Strengths:
set up, changing pads. one figer braking. lovely hassle free fit and forget

Weaknesses:
there's a washer that sits on the brake boss, stick it place with silicon sealant, otherwise if you open them on the trial, you'll loose it

Overall:
these are great brakes, if you don't want to spend every weekend fiddling and fettling your cable brakes, ditch them and buy some HS33, get the shop to fit them, and you'll wonder how you manged before. True one finger braking power. pimpy good looks and admiring glances from your envious mates.
