I've used the Skeletal brake set for about eight months now. I have ridden below -40º in the middle of January, ridden in the rain and used them in the mud during breakup season (Fairbanks, Alaska).

A couple complaints I have with them is the modulation isn't that awesome and the levers rattle if your fingers aren't on them while going down a bumpy trail. The reach adjust tends to adjust themselves, but a bit of Loctite adds enough friction to solve this. They're a great brake to start off with if it's your first hydro.

I'm sure this is a forum violation and I do apologize but Cambriabike has some ridiculous deals on Marta SLs and Louise I believe. I think the Martas are maybe $69USD a side down from $269ish. Once again, I am sorry for posting this but I am trying to save the guy a buck or two which seems to be the premise of his requested post.

Thanks,
Andrew.

neext, that is fine, posting up links and sites, just dont solicit your own site to try and get hits, in a case like this it would be fine, and dont try and sell your own stuff unless it is part of the question

Any links to deals/shops are totally fine,it's only if you try and sell your own stuff.
