How good are these brakes. Im just wondeing if its worth my time to upgrade to some LXs. There came on my 99 RAleigh m600 that i bought used. Thanks for the info.
I don't have any experience with the 1.0s specifically, but I like Avid brakes. I haven't had any brake honk since I switched to Avids. I don't know whether it's the pads or the arch (I have Arch Rivals), but the quiet braking is heavenly.
Stick with the Avids, bro. The LX brakes aren't as nice, even the parallel-push ones (any parallel push brake seems to cause increased brake post flex... weird!).
Originally posted by crackmunch Looking on avids site they look just like the avid 3s or somthing like that. I was thinking about getting a set of arch rivals. Thanks for the help.
There used to be a great deal on Arch Rivals at Pricepoint.com, Supergo.com, or JensonUSA.com, I forget which. It was something like $89 for front and rear brakes and speed dial 7 levers.
