Suntour XC REAR Self Energising (SE) Cantilever Brakes

[player]

These any good?

They seem pretty cheap or are they fake.

ive used the rears on lots of bikes as they are good quality last and last and very good price ive got a box full about twenty in total
as i buy them when a seller has something else i want to save on the postage
be carefull of useing a front the same as they can tend to be quite sharp and lift the back wheel up or lock the front wheel
if you use a front set it up gradually not as tight as possible or you could go over the handlebars on your first ride

do not use them on the front
:shock: :shock: although the SE bit that would be a danger will not work if you simply put a back on the front

as said they are good brakes, it is the front non SE specific version which is much harder to find.
