My vintage 1995 Cannondale M500 had Dia-Compe 986 cantilever brakes that were in bad shape. I initially tried to replace them with an exact match. Except that the product I received from a bike shop wasn't exactly the same, causing a lot of frustration.After reading a lot of bike forums, I decided to replace the cantilever brakes with V-brakes. Apparently those two things are different. I'm still learning. I scrapped my "keep it original" plans and went instead with the Shimano BR-T4000 V-Brake.Installation was super quick and easy. The brakes slid right in and were easy to adjust with the right amount of spring tension. I struggled a little bit to find the sweet spot on the cable to have enough distance from the wheel rim, but also clasp tightly when applied. Eliciting some help from the local bike shop, it was revealed that the combination shifter-brake levers were not properly adjusted. I probably would have been better off going to separate shifter and brake levers, but that's on me.For rim brakes I would definitely buy these again. My own lack of experience aside, they are of high quality and have some serious stopping power when properly adjusted. The quick release is much easier than the setup that I previously had on the bike. The price is amazing, too. Normally you don't get an actual OEM brand name part in this price range. Kudos to Shimano for keeping their prices fair for cycling fans.

These Shimano front brakes replaced some original Schwinn brakes that were not working so good. The Shimanos went right on and worked perfectly, and much better than my old ones. Stopping power is way more than the original equipment ones. Wish I had done this a long time ago and avoided all the frustration of not being able to adjust the old ones properly. Quality seems great on the Shimanos. Buy with confidence.

These things will stop your mountain or hybrid bike on a dime. I’ve had to hit mine — front and rear — as I was zipping through an intersection and a car ran a red light and they locked up my wheels. Skidded 5 feet and came to a dead stop!

I used these to replace the cantilevers on my touring bike. Easy replacement, easier to set up than cantilevers, and performance on par with disc brakes. They are so strong compared to cantilevers that I actually needed some time to get used to them. Easy does it.
