Surly LHT · Mar 9, 2010 11:20 AM

I'm thinking about putting on new brakes and brake levers on my LHT. I am looking at the Shimano BL-R400 brake levers and Shimano Cantilever brakes BR-R550. I don't like what came on my bicycle. Anyone use these brakes parts before if so how good are they. I am some what of OLD School ways.

Well guess I am not thinking any more I put these on but would still like to see what others folks has to say about these parts.

Those brakes should work ok. Just make sure you've got either canti brake levers or road levers, as they won't work with v-brake levers.
