i have one of these on the gf bike. it is okay. it’s shimano. the hardware looks a little cheap, hex nuts instead of allen.
if i could do it again, i’d buy the tektros. I have teh r538s and they’re nice brakes. get whatever the 59-73mm version of them is.
or get that nexus, if it’s just a beater and you just need the front.
556
yeah i’ll prolly get that 556, thanks!
