These brakes came standard on my new bike. Their major flaw is that they lack pad clearance adjustment. This translates to impossible to correct squealing, rubbing, and tick-tick-tick noises to ruin your ride. No amount of alignment, adjustment, bleeding, or fluid add/removal is going to completely correct this problem. These brakes just don't cut it. Honestly, I have had better results from V-Brakes. If you must have hydro's step up to a model that has pad clearance adjust or you will regret it I promise. I am switching to BB7 mechanical disc brakes which can be more effectively tuned and don't require freaking syringes to maintain.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Avid Elixir 3 Rear Disc Brake with Right Lever (160mm HS1 Rotor, 1600mm Hose)" are high quality item.
