Seems like every "Shimnao equipped" bike I see on the web or the LBS has Tektro brakes. I see Nuevation charges $110 for Ultegra brakes over Tektro. That seems like alot, implying that these things are pretty cheap.
Anyone that throws out the blanket statement that 'Tektro brakes suck' is pretty much an idiot. Tektro makes TONS of brakes of all different types and quality levels. Sure, some suck. Same w/ pretty much all manufacturers that make more than 1 level of a component.
I had good braking with Tektro 539's. Ditched the stock pads for some Koolstops. World of difference.
I agree, blanket statements mean nothing and they suck.
