I've been using these stoppers (with 160mm rotors) on a race bike for a year now and they're still going strong. They're easy to adjust and changing pads is as easy as the older Mags and HFX9's. (If only they'd use the same size pad).
great freakin brake, had a set on an old fr bike of mine that i built up at the bike shop i work at.
really light weight but prone to cracks on the lever

i ride these brakes on my hardtail and they are brilliant, great power and the lever reach adjustment is great.

How do you make a good bike component better? Make it lighter and carbon fiber-ier! The Stroker Carbon packs all the features of the Stroker Trail, but with the addition of a carbon fiber lever. We also substituted aluminum-backed pads in place of the Trail's standard steel-backed pads. The result is almost certainly the most capable, lightweight (387g), and controllable brake at its price.
