Throwing the disc brakes on the front of my commuter bike has made a drastic positive difference in my ability to stop in wet weather - especially coming down (even minor) hills and navigating through city traffic.

THE BRAKES ARE VERY POWERFULL AND RELATIVELY EASY TO ADJUST. HAVE RIDDEN THEM COMPLETELY COVERED WITH MUD AND STILL WORKING. A VERY DEPENDABLE AND SIMPLE DISC BRAKE NO MESSY FLUIDS OR LINES A PURE MECHANICAL DISC BRAKE, COMPARABLE STOPING POWER WITH THE HYDRAULIC ACTUATED.
