That's my experience. The Weinmann's are far superior to the N600 sidepulls on my old Trek. The only brake set that I own that is better is the New Dura-Ace set on my Lemond.

People who say Weinmann centrepulls are no good quite clearly don't know how to set them up right. When adjusted well, they are powerful, more so than any "prestigious" Campy sidepull. They may not be elegant, but with a good set of pads, they STOP!
