    A seriously good entry level brake

    My MT-400 caliper bit the dust so I thought I'd upgrade to a more robust solution and a nicer lever, and I'm not disappointed!

    For the price, they have great modulation and are slightly more powerful than my previous brakes. Best of all, I can upgrade the front caliper to a four pot at any time for extra braking capability!

    Good brake at a good price

    These brakes are as good as any 2 pot calipers I believe. They are a good choice for good bite and handle is a good size for 1 or 2 fingers.

    Easy to install and recommend.
