Also did you get slapped with customs/duties on that from the ebay guy?
The dual pivots will have a little more stopping power than single, but I didn't find the difference was all that dramatic. The V-brakes on my MTB definately have a higher mechanical advantage.
I can't remember if I got slapped with any charges or not-it was over a year ago when I bought them. Usually it is not bad if you get it shipped USPS. A lot of times it slips through with nothing that way.
