Tektro 926AL Mini V Brake - Black

I recommend this product

Just renovated a 531 Cross Frame for road use. Swapped on to these after having issues with the previous Canti brakes.. Dead straightforward to fit..Might have to swap washers around behind the blocks to get them to fit inside road frame forkblades. A load easier to adjust than Cantis though.. Not bothered with noodles. Its a breeze to adjust with allen key and Thumb nail on the cable to fine tune... Nice and powerful in use. Not used them in the Rain yet but its obvious these will be up to the task.

As from other review, these are a close fit with the 3mm 'cross tyres that I have fitted. A bit too close for my personal preference. Once set up, the rear provides sufficient power, easily locking the rear hoop. The front feels good a lower speeds, but needs a bit too much lever travel, even with the pads set close to the rim. I use Shimano STI levers, which I have read elsewhere are more suited to 90mm vees, so I can't make this a criticism. I have used these both on and off road and they certainly inspire a lot more confidence than cantis.
These were easy to set up and are a very good price for a very functional piece of kit.

Used these to change from cantis on my tricross. They are a close fit but once on and set up I have a lot more stopping power. I can now stop when I pull my brakes insted of just slowing down.
My only gripe is when removing the wheel the tyre has to be deflated due to the small clearance.
Excellent delivery from SJS.
