promaxV-Brake Set (Black)

Solidly built, they seem to be mostly steel so on the heavy side but super durable. The brake feel is excellent - the levers and brake arms respond well with lots of modulation. The return springs are also quite strong and quickly return to the open position when you let go. The brake pads are quiet with lots of grip, and function well in the rain when the rim is wet. Unlike some reviewers, my brakes did not have any plastic parts that I noticed. Overall, they are absolutely worth the money and a worthy upgrade for replacing old cantilevers or cheap department store brakes.

I've bought 2 sets of these for a couple older bikes. No nonsense. Easy set up and adjustment. Good enough for me braking power. Replace when needed with good pads on these and you're set!

They are ok for rebuilding bikes with brakes that need to be replaced... all metal levers, and good construction. Definitely an improvement over Wally World type garbage.

I bought these to replace the brakes on my 95 Nishiki mountain bike. I have been slowly upgrading the components on my bike and these fit and work great, although I had to replace the brake cables to fit these new style brakes.( I had cantilever before) I have been riding with these for several weeks now, and they stop great and no noise! These might be a lower end set of brakes, it is a good start if you are on a tight budget like me. I would definitely recommend these to all those DIY's that like working on your own bikes.

Original brakes had plastic parts that broke apart. These are metal and upgrade from original parts. Highly recommend.

THANKS

It works great! Comes with brake pads but NOT cable. Don't forget the cable and housing if your stringing new brakes. If you're doing a repair, and you already have good brake cables, you will have everything you need (with a 5mm Allen wrench, that is...)

I only need the front break system, but it will be good to have as a replacement.Very easy to install and good quality
