jerlejeunePicked these up to use with some long reach caliper brakes for a single speed and they do the job.

A GuestPretty average construction. Shape is not suited to large hands. Barrel adjuster lock nuts are plastic and they skip a thread if you tighten them at all, which makes it impossible to lock adjustment. I'm going to try to snag some aluminum adjusters next tine I stop at lbs. Mine did come with nice shimano cables and housing.
