Yup. When adjusted right, I get nice solid braking. My only complaints are that in order to adjust them right, I lose the ability to use the quick release, as I cant squeeze the brakes close enough together to let the brake cable clip release. The other issue I have noticed is that there is almost zero clearance between the brake pads and the rims. Thus, if it is mucky at all, I easily get mud/stuff stuck in the brakes. I am still of a somewhat mixed opinion of these v-brakes on this bike.
