I asked elsewhere some years ago but I will try again here. Has anyone owned a set of these brakes and if you have what was your experience with them? I bought a set when they were contemporary and never got on with them, still have them somewhere, probably in the same crate as the equally unreliable Kronos as i am the Imelda Marcos of brakes, truly.
They have ball bearing pivots and are very prone to chatter when worked hard, no matter what shoes/blocks are used.
On the plus side they look nice.
