Adequate all around brakes
1) reach adjust
2) modulation
3) price
1) contact pad adjust
2) braking power (compared to Shimanos)
These are decent brakes for the price... definitely a better option than the Juicys they replaced. Even through the Rs also have Taperbore, they don't quite have the stopping power as the CRs. Modulation is good, not on/off like the Shimano XT/XTR/Saint brakes I tried in the past.
