Growtac Equal Brakes, Post Mount

i bought these instead of paul klampers because i needed a break with better clearance for a rack. if your having difficulty mounting a rack around a mechanical disk break then this will give you a bit more room due to the side pull action of the break. other than that read the radivist.com review as it goes into depth about the high quaility of this part.

These are truly excellent brakes - the overall power, modulation and ease of adjustment are top notch. The fact that they come bundled with a complete package of high quality compressionless housing, cables and hardware makes the asking price a bit more palatable. That said If I were on a budget I would have no problem using something like the TRP Spyre (which is a fine brake for the money), but if you can afford the extra coin I think these are well worth the asking price.

Not cheap but worthwhile investment. They have paid for themselves on hilly rides. People have commented numerous times on the green color and asked about the brakes.

these brakes are fantastic; and this is my second pair. they take regular Shimano pads that are nonmetallic; the included pads are excellent. the included housing is fantastic -- and no doubt make for zero compression. but I didn't even use it!! -- I used Velo Oranges regular 'ol housing, and the brakes work great. I found them to be completely rebuildable. I cant tell the difference between these and the Pauls, except that these are more affordable. they blow away all other mechanical brakes: and I've used them all.
