    Have seen these around my budget but which one is the best brake.

    Swaying toweards Shimano as everuythign else has been totally reliable but am I just being boring?

    Brian Lopes has Stroker trails on his Ibis! Both are very good brakes.

    Stroker are solid for braking no complaints there but no adjustment and I'm forever setting them up again to stop rubbing, seems a common problem. Can be noisy too. Not tried many others though.

    I've got lower spec shimanos on one bike – excellent. I've got Stroker Trails on the other bike – also excellent.

    Hard to pick

    I've got strokers on one bike, excellent brakes can be noisey when wet.

    I've got Shimano's on the other, excellent brakes, can be noisey when wet.

    Take your pick
