dia compe are excellent and cheap
odyssey are really good and dearer and a bit more difficult to set up IMHO
Fly bikes are the dogs and reasonable to set up butdont work to well onthe upper chainstays its just something to bear in mind.

yeah i was chuffed with my sig and the gt man, took about an hour to do them,

hombres are upgraded versions of ad990 dia-compe's answer to odyssey,

get the hombres and with the spare change buy really good cables as ive heard about cables snaping, but never a caliper
