Seriously - £11?!

What are they like? Looking for my daughter's bike, she's about 25kg so doesn't need a lot of stopping power but then she is only 7 so hasn't got a huge grip strength or big hands.

I'd prefer hydraulic since there's no cable friction to overcome, but these are cheap. How light is the action in use? The last cable discs I used were noticeably heavier to pull.

Reviews on CRC aren't good!

I bought some Clarks CMD-21s on eBay a while ago. They were only £15 for a F&R set including rotors and spare pads!

Fine for my pub bike, but I'd not want them on anything that's going downhill too fast.

My daughter is a nervous 7 and is on a rigid bike, she's not going anywhere fast.

Anyway, bought the Clarks hydro ones. £20 an end!

I think many Clarks brakes have tiny pads, which limits stopping power, before you start adding cable friction, flaws in brake design etc
