[Review] Dia-Compe Hombres & Fiesta Kit
   by Britrider | 20 Oct 2008 5:41 pm



General:
I've had these brakes with the Fiesta pack since around January-Febuary and I just replaced them for Evo 2s because I fancied a change.
They work really well considering they cost around £15 compared to £65+ for brakes from bigger companies. They are really easy to set up because of how they work. They are a lot easier to set up than brakes with springs like the tektro FX-30. The green pads in the Fiesta pack aren't the greatest because they are a bit too hard, but this means they last a long time. The springs are harder than the ones on my Evo 2s but aren't too hard in my opinion. Some times parts come loose like the cable hanger slips once in a while and the springs lose tension.
They weigh 7.6oz or 215g.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Cheap
  • Work very well (Considering the price)
  • Light
  • Reliable
  • Can be used as a front or back brake

Cons
  • Needs adjusting sometimes as the parts move after a while


Summary

I think these brakes are definetly worth buying if you need a set and are on a budget. The fiesta pack is also worth buying if you have hombres already.

I rate them 9/10
