Review on 🚴 SHIMANO BR-MX70 V-Brake for BMX Bikes (Rear) by Rob Clark

Revainrating 3 out of 5

solid levers, flake pad nut

DXR brake levers are nice and strong. It appears to be made of forged aluminum rather than cheap cast iron. People recognize the DXR logo instantly, so even for a poser like me it looks spectacular. The problem I had was with the nut on the upper of the shoe. I know I tightened it but one fell off half way through leaving me with no brakes and later I had to go back to the track to find the missing parts. While this may be an installation error (me) as this has NEVER happened in my years of riding and fixing bikes, I think the small and light parts have something to do with it. I still love brakes. I'll just be more careful to check torque while driving.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not the best
