Had a set and as I recall they were easy to set up, weighed nothing and were plenty strong enough!
Here's a set of them on a rather nice bike that you may recognise:

mine are the earlier versions in that case, they work without cantilever springs and just use the straddle wire to push or pull the canti's in
