Shimano XT V-Brake Kit M-750

Average Rating:

An invaluable upgrade for the bike in need of serious braking power. Shimano’s XT V-brakes feature the same Parallel-Push link system as XTR for the best in dependable friction braking

Pros: Shimano XT m750
Cons: just the weight, about 4 grams different vs xtr. If you can''t stall this brake system, better change of sport.
Time Used: 1 Year
Comments: Best brake system I had, strong mechanism, same brake like XTR but heavier.
Rating: 5
Recommendation: No I would not recommend it to a friend

Pros: They work, stopping power is decent, price is not bad.
Cons: Pain to properly adjust and install. I tried to install them myself, but being a novice I then gave up and had them professionally set up. Still no luck, after going back to the shop twice they still squeal really bad. Apparently this is a known problem with XTs???
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I'm giving up on these brakes and looking at disc brakes now. Really frustrated with them.

Recommendation: No I would not recommend it to a friend
