Strong, Pretty, Good for racks. The 610 far exceeded my expectations, especially in terms of braking power and ease of installation with a front rack.

Solid. Easy setup and they work well.

Great Brakes. Replaced a pair of Tektro dual pivot brakes with these. Now I can easily use 35mm tires on my Raleigh Gran Prix. They look great and perform even better.
