... anybody got any experience of them? How do they function?

Good/bad??

keen to know, as I'm on a mission with a WW project...
 
I have a pair on the rear. Cost me £50 off e-bay from Poland. Nice and light. But i have seen pictures of them cracked.
I fitted KCNC blocks and alloy bolts and saved even more weight., 26grams.

Cheers fella.

Hopefully if they were to crack there'd be some sort of warranty??

Does yours work/perform ok??

I found them easier to set up than the KCNC and they stop me as quick with good modulation. They came in lots of colours too(from the seller i bought from)
Less than half the price of the KCNC or extralite and only 10 grams heavier.
 
Oh should add been using these since Oct 2011 on front as well. With no problems.
 
great...

That's good news cos I know you prefer uphill, which doesn't even necessitate brakes to be fitted to your bike.. ;) :LOL:
 
Mine flexed quite a bit. Couldn't keep them setup the way I wanted for long. It could have been down to me though.

The brake levers lack feel, but I've gotten used to it.

For the money, vs KCNC, worth it.
