I wanted to get brake pads for my countryside bike (20 years old) that had worn out over the years and would cost me around 10 euros. I saw this set and decided to try it since for almost the same amount of money, 13 euros, I would change everything that, although still working, had started to accumulate some rust. Well, the brakes are now small anchors, I don't know what more expensive ones would offer, but I don't care at all for an auxiliary bike. The construction quality is very good, made of aluminum with decent brake pads and easy adjustments. The only problem they caused me is that they made me consider changing them on my main bike in Athens, which is of good quality but still doesn't match these brakes.
