Got a cheapo tektro with matching lever, og pads replaced with edinburgh bikes cartridge ones and alex machined rim. They've actually been really good, predictable in the wet and dry (and snow) and they've got good feel / modulation. After about a 1000 miles the rim is getting close to it's wear limit. I'd guess there was maybe another 500 left? So yeh very cheap and cheerful but effective none the less.
