LOOK AT COMPETITION BEFORE BUYING...
Look good, very powerful, good modulation (better than Avids) and parallelogram design keeps pads in right position (once they're there...)
Squeal, but can be avoided if set up ok (takes a very very long time). Spongyness caused by spring balance, no-one has mentioned this but on my Marzocchi forks they won't balance and keep the spring tension. Any tips please email me - are longer adjuster bolts needed? I don't know.
Have Avid on front, XT on back.
Less squeal and more positive braking on front, better modulation and control on rear. Probably wouldn't go for these again, especially at the price. Take your pick...
