my chief mechanic bought some batwings, they came completely out of adjustment every few miles. he finally took them off in disgust and sent them back and bought v-brakes, which he loves. i f you don’t want to be a vbrake clone, buy marinovative cheap trick brakes (about $100/wheel) — mark l weaver http://adventuresports.com/asap/shops/precisin/welcome.htm precision bicycles, carmichael ca (916)488-5353

I’m looking to upgrade my brake system and am looking for advice. I have LX rapid-fire shifters and do not want to upgrade to XT right now. That means that I can’t upgrade to V-brakes. Sooooo, does anyone have experience with Bat Wings or is there another system that you could recommend for under $130. PS I’ve got a C’dale with headshock if that matters……. Thanks
