Yep - they are great brakes. They look pretty cool, of course - and set up properly, they are quite effective at stopping! I just wore through the pads after two years of use, with plenty of off-road braking.
I'm not a big fan of the Tektro "dial in" hangers. When I change out the h'bars next, I'll just put generic hangers on there. Like the old Mafacs and Frogleg copies, there is no toe-in adjustment. I just sanded down to pads to prevent squeaking. Not good for those who want to plug and play, but with a bit of elbow grease, they are nice brakes to have. I wish they were still available... I think Tektro still makes 'em? I've seen a black "racing" model before... Esteban San Diego, Calif.
