This brake is awesome! Top of the line, no complaints after a year of using it. I highly recommend it to trials riders and mountain bikers.

Review
My experience with these brakes is terrible. We have two complete sets on two Ellsworth’s. Both bikes have the shudder issue. I have bought numerous aftermarket pads, and rotors and the problem always come back. There are many home grown solutions out there on the web but none have worked for me over two years of a lot of time spent. The shudder problem if you get it will take away all enjoyment of riding and certainly this product. Read the reviews and buyer bewares. I also have found the customer service to be acceptable but certainly nothing helpful. They do the very basic to get by. Al

Review
I have these on a trail bike with mechanicals on my urban/trials bike. These feel fantastic. The lever adjustability gives you the ability to fine tune the feel.

They modulate well and stop well, but I have a tough time getting them to lock up quickly. They hold once locked, but you may need to modify them with rougher pads for good use.
