The postage is quite dear, but these are good if they're set up properly. Good for the tinkerer, and an interesting cul-de-sac in braking technology.
Fiddly to adjust though.

Copycats

Although cheap, the SunTour ones are ridiculously heavy. These are the pre-licensed versions that no doubt cost too much to make in large numbers - I have one already and think it's a fine, if leftfield, brake, slightly lighter in feel and modulation than the Scott SE's (which are the better of the licensed versions, IMHO).

Well I liked my set BITD; they were great when they were set up right.
I have a set of those Tektros too, but I've nothing to put them on.
