A GuestI purchased these from Tree Fort Bikes a few weeks ago. I was converting my wifes hybrid trek from Hayes hydraulic brakes to road style brakes and road wheels. The brakeset was perfect since the reach was considerably longer than the standard road brake calipers. The levers and brakes provide excellent stopping power and looks great too.
