The clarks are a bit steep for my liking, Shimano much more affordable. I notice Dia Compe do an MX2 v-brake too which is anodised so can match into colour scheme better.

Cheers fellas.  8)

Monk_Wally_Honk:
I ended up going for the MX2's purely for the looks. Turns out they work superbly. Ditched the front brake altogether and fitted the MX2 V-brake and matching lever. Amazing braking - makes you realise how bad the initial (Tektro) setup was.

I changed the mushrooms to A'me grips too. I didn't like the look of the white/red combo much and they made the palms of my hands itch whenever I got some speed up. I remember this happening when I bought a pair of mushrooms when they first came out. Soon ditched them for A'me's too. Got the lot from Alans for £30.

As it was:

On my Floval i'm running an old Avid Arch rival as i like the look of them and they are super powerful.

If it's just the look of the Tektro you don't like then go for something like a Shimano DXR which are pretty cheap compared to the Clarkes
