Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
I was going to buy a set of TRPs but decided on these for the money. They may not be as cool or light, but deliver 90% of the performance for 10% of the price.

Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
This brake made my Lemond a fun bike to ride. The factory spec'd Avid Shorty 4 brake on the front drove me crazy with its squealing. Nothing I did could silence it for more than a few miles. I ditched it and bought this Tektro brake for an awesome price. Instant relief! Now I ride silently.
Only downside I see is that I need to buy a bell. That, and an adapter so that I can back off the brake cable tension to remove the front wheel.

I bought a pair of these for a drop bar conversion. They work excellently with STI shifters (mine are Shimano 5600). I installed this week and so far no complaints.

Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
These Mini-V-Brakes work great with Shimano Ultegra Road Shifter/Brake Levers, inexpensive and easier to set-up then cantilever brakes. Jenson is out of the fronts, but just move the pads to make a front set.

Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
Very nice mini-V brake, especially for 10 bucks. Replaced some well-worn Avid 5 v-brakes on a cyclocross bike. Big improvement - nice and stiff, easy to modulate, stock pads are very quiet. If you need mini-V's, you can't beat these for value. And a mini-V is the same thing, regardless of whether it's labeled for "BMX", "City", or "Cyclocross".
Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
I purchased these to use road bars on a Nashbar touring frame. They work exceedingly well. There might be interference issues with fenders or big gnarly tires at a later date, as the cable passes closer to the top of the tire. I have about a quarter inch of clearance with 32mm Panaracer Paselas. I have no complaints on the function of the brakes. The pads are decent too. Make sure that you make provisions to have barrel adjusters somewhere along the cable to account for later adjustments. Most road levers don't provide this.
Comments about Tektro 926A Mini L-Pull Brake:
I wanted improved stopping power and less squealing on my cross bike. I was also having some pretty bad brake shudder. I replaced the front canti brake with the Tektro and so far so good. The only downside is tire removal. I'm still trying to set it up such that I can have good braking and relatively easy tire removal options.

I put this on my Bianchi San Jose singlespeed cross bike, they work exponentially better than Cantilevers, and the price was great. I would buy again!
