Performance compared to caliper brakes?
Set-up? Easy? Any extra bits to buy?
Do you not find they require regular attention to get them to work well?
I managed to get mine right on my Uncle John once I bought a fork mounted hanger, but my Dawes was an absolute bitch. After setting up some 6700s on my road bike and then some decor v-brakes on my bosses bike I came to the overall conclusion that asides from looks and clearance they're not really very functional.
