I actually have two bikes that use these brake levers. I like their simplicity and their mechanical leverage is nice for most cantilever setups; but they have a rather significant flaw (for me at least) – these do not use slotted cable end stops, so are a pain to take out or install. Please note that these also use road type cable end instead of mountain bike cable ends.
