Pros: Inexpensive mechanical disc brakes.
Cons: No opposing piston like in the Promax 3.0 disc brakes.
Time Used: Less Than A Month
Comments: Great stopping power, all you have to do is adjust the pad closest to the wheel to be almost touching the disc without causing drag. Once this is done, it doesn't matter that the pad near the wheel doesn't have it's own piston, just adjustments are frequent. I'd rather adjust frequently than maintain hydraulic brakes all the time. Four stars due to the one piece design, with one piston.
Rating: 4
Recommendation: Yes I would recommend it to a friend
