These brakes any good?

I used the (totally shit) Weimmerman (?) standard brake for about 3 months. I only touched them twice in the first 3 weeks so eventually went brakeless.

I've seen a Pug with a modern Tektro brake... so ask around.

Weinmann. And they are good quality (well certain Types made after the 1970's). I have a pair on my fixed that have are still going after 20 years of use on various bikes.
