Thank you Top. I'll check them out.
I can see why most do not like them. I think the combination of cheaplevers and lowperformance centerpull brakes gave them the reputation they have.
when I was a teen I recall a few scary moments when they did not really do much. now being a much more experienced rider and mechanic I can see their value in modulating speed from the tops of the bars but would never rely on them to stop.
