Review
I've used these for about two years on a Norco Two50 that has been a dirt jump bike, a downhill hardtail comp bike, and a semi-street/trials bike. These brakes rock. Great stopping power, one finger all the way. The modulation isn't the best but with time you learn to accomodate. I've never noticed much fade at all, even on a 45 minute long very steep downhill course with multiple skill areas, I never had any loss in power. I would tell anyone to get these. Just keep in mind that when you pull them, you WILL stop. Get used to the ON/OFF switch characteristics and this brake will make your life easier.
