On My Last Mongoose I had BBB Brakes with Un-threaded Posts. My New Mongoose needs Threaded Posts and I couldn't find any from BBB so I bought these and They are Grrrrrrr8...! Easy to Install using a Allen Wrench and They Do STOP the Forward Progress... Make sure You use the Rear Brake FIRST or You May go Flying...! I do all My Traveling with My Mongoose as much as 15 Miles a Day... I am 70 Years Young and I can''t Count on Drivers Stopping at Intersections where We have the Right-of-Way so I Need the Stopping Power of these Brakes...!
