I've got a bog standard shimano mechanical brake. it works perfectly when set up correctly - however i can't be bothered to do it. i just whacked it on from another bike. one pad rubs a bit. if you need everything set up 'just right' it might not be for you, but if you like riding your bike at full speed into walls and still having a funcitioning brake - its fine.
