i deffo wouldn't trust them i don't even think my brakes are up to the job as they fade on big desents. i don't find the bike chunky enougth for me. i guess im use to my 66s. i managed to get mine for 400 :-P she loves it that's the main thing. just a tip you might want to cut a crap inner tube and put on the tube under the chain as the chain chips the paint off in no time.
