Heh, I was just going to recommend them as really cheap, with the caveat that not being familiar with any other road calipers that I passed a fix on the street the other day, and saw it had an old dura ace brake on it, and squeezed the lever for the feel, and man, not even riding the bike I could feel how different braking would feel.

Like, it makes my nashbar brake seem like it came in a pair for $20 or something.

Roger that as well on the cheap nashbar levers - the action and lever feel of someone else's nicer brake made me realize my brake and levers are totally of Wal-mart bike quality.

But have been sufficient until now.
