they are cheap
I use cantilever on the front, long reach caliper on the back.
I dont understand why you would not have to change pads when changing rims from alloy to carbon. I though carbon rims need special pads.

I can understand they work better for rain/snow because the seem to have a higher pull potential with the arms being lower/closer to the pads.

I don't understand how it will fit nearly every rim, don't you still have to adjust the pad angle in or out to make contact with the rim properly?
