 :) They look like shit and if you have a decent brake that is well setup there is no need..I ran one on an early 2ks Haro race frame.It was so flexy that when you pulled the lever the brake would pull in the seat-stays.

There used to be some nice carbon fibre ones out there, no real use nowadays other than looks
