Impressive overall, correct setup is critical to avoid rotor flex, do notice the barrel adjusters, I preload the arm regardless of what the instructions say. I have one of these on the rear wheel of a 26" commuter bike and it locks the wheel up with ease and minimal hand force. Recently installed one on a 29" front wheel of a Mullet E-bike so it's not shocking that it takes a lot more hand strength to slow down. The spring is hard compared to hydraulic so you're fighting that return spring so more hand fatique over long rides, needs more hand strength which might be decreased by running it on the rear with a longer cable I haven't compared it on the same bike yet. But still worth your while if you prefer not to deal with fluids.!
