Good not great!
I bought these to replace a set of old breaks an they do the job. I have built and rebuilt several bikes and this bike didn't warrant putting the money into v-breaks because the lady will probably ride it 5 times befor she parks it in har basement. If I was her and I wanted to ride the bike for miles and miles I would invest in V-BRAKES.
