Ok but still awaiting to see if anyone has opinion on them
My experience.
Expand on this please. Why are they tough to set up?
Just make sure that you read and understand the instructions.
You need to make sure that the rotor is midway between the brake pads. You ensure that by applying the brake with the bolts holding the brake assembly loose enough for it to move into place. Tighten the bolts with the brake still applied.
The other thing to watch out for is that you do not do the obvious, which just happens to be wrong! I am sure this is what mythste refers to ... Ah, he has posted that while I have been typing!
You should tighten the cable only just enough to take up the slack. Do NOT tighten it to adjust the brake action. There is a screw-in pin on the calliper which you can use to check that you have not overtightened the cable. The pin should screw in without any problem. Make sure you release it after checking.
It takes a big pull on the lever to get full braking, but I CAN lock the front wheel on a descent without the lever going all the way to the bars. I would prefer to use a bit less lever travel, but at least the brake works properly, unlike the one it replaced.
