Review on SUNLITE Brake 69 96Mm Reach Silver by Marty Drury

Due to the low price, I was expecting cheap, flimsy rim brakes that you find on $50 kid bikes that can bend if you squeeze the brake lever too hard. I was surprised that the brakes are actually quite good quality. They will serve as a good substitute for the average driver. They are of better quality than the brakes found on any new department store bike with rim brakes. Not as good as the $25-$50 brakes, but they do their job and seem pretty solid. This kit includes front and rear brake calipers (with pads), front and rear brake cables and housings, left and right brake levers, and pinch cable ends to prevent brake cable chafing. The rear cable housing is about 57 inches long and the front is just over 25 inches long. Cable jackets can be shortened by simply pulling off the metal end, cut with cable cutters or wire cutters and replace the end. When cutting the cable itself, cable cutters are best, if your cutting tool isn't sharp enough, the end of the cable will wear down when you cut it. If that is indeed the case, just twist it together and crimp the ends of the cable. Really, you can't get any better for the price. A set of brakes alone would cost about $20 for the entire set. Now if only it were eligible for free super shipping. Haven't tried them on a few bikes yet but the pads can be adjusted up or down quite a bit so should fit most 20-26 inch bikes. But I'm not sure about the smaller tire sizes.
