Pros:
Cheap, if you can count that. They should have been free, because they're WORTHLESS.
Cons:
Noisy and high maintenance.
Time Used:
More than 2 years
Comments:
Front brake has never worked right. Squeaks and loses spring and axle repeatedly. I've had it 2 years and replaced the pads more than I care to count (and the springs and the axle). I have to have it re-bled at least once a season. It squeals like a pig, even after cleaning the roter with alcohol and replacing the pads multiple times.

Pros:
They are really nice looking. The levers has a nice feeling.
Cons:
Maybe a little to weak when you ride more agressive terrain.
Time Used:
1 Year
Comments:
There is almost no maintenance needed on the breaks. If you are riding duals or dirt you should upgrade to the bigger disc awalible, I think.
CC & freeride - Not for DH racing

I've had these for over 2 years now and got them for winter riding at first. I had some problems with heat build up in the shimano pads but put FIBRAX carbon pads in and have loved them ever since. They are not a downhill brake but for everything else they are awesome.
