Put this on a Surly Crosscheck build and they work just fine. Like most canti's, not the greatest stopping power, but definitely good enough. Instructions are excellent, and there are 3 choices of spaces to adjust the pad reach - nicely done! I haven't experienced and shuddering or squealing so far, but I did spend some time making sure the leading edge was toed in (I held a piece of cardboard torn from the box under the leading edge as I tightened the pad).
