I've had the same Tektro 720s on my Atlantis for years. I use the super thin red Kool Stop pads. They've worked through everything and the thin pads allow you to clear big tires easily. They're relatively affordable and the silver looks classy on the Atlantis. -- You received this message

I like CX50s for clarity of setup. They work well, and they look okay. They are pretty cheap, compared to those Suntour XCs. Once you’re talking $180 brake sets, you may as well pay $260 for Paul Minimotos. Easy setup, extremely awesome stopping power, and no brake judder. Philip Santa

+1 on Shimano CX-50. No complaints. That said, I prefer V-brakes. More powerful and easier to set up. Some people complain about a lack of modulation with V-brakes, but I think there is enough once you get used to them -- just requires a lighter touch. On Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 9:14:06 AM

Shimano CX-70 (no longer in production) are the best I've used for stopping power, modulation, and feel. I believe the CX-50 is the same functional brake, and is a bargain, in my estimation. If you want to spend even less, I would go with the Tektro CR 710. On Thursday, July 16, 2020 at

Funny you should mention ATMO red. I have a Richard Sachs in the classic red Sachs color scheme, and the paint job is actually pretty interesting. The red color is what’s called a “candy” in the paint world—a translucent color painted over a base coat of a different color. In this case, the red
