The new ee brakes

[greentimgreen]

Any ideas where the little coloured plastic 'badges' are available from? No reference on the ee brakes website or Fairwheel yet.

I ordered black brakes and they came with black logos installed and extra grey logos in the box.

Any one that has some more riding impressions of these brakes? Thinking of getting a pair for my Tarmac to replace the BR9000. Only thing thats holding me back besides the fact that no one seems to stock them in EU is the adjusting between different rim widths which seems more time consuming than "normal" brakes.

I'm still playing with the pull to get them to feel the way I like.. The rear I have dailed in.. The fronts I'm close... I can see how changing wheels and adjusting might be a little more time consuming.
The brakes themselves are top notch and work just as good as .. If not better in the modulation dept then my da9000.. Which are great brakes too

On my bike with EEs I switch between 20mm and 23mm wide wheelsets. I use the thickest pad spacers, and set the brakes up according to the wider 23mm rims. When I switch to the thinner wheels, I just use the barrel adjuster to compensate for width. I usually have to tighten about 1/3 of the barrel threads. I set up the brakes with the barrel adjuster all the way in so I have plenty of slack. If you run wheels with a greater difference in widths (ie 19mm training wheels and 26+mm race wheels), you might have to switch out the pad spacers.

Ok that sounds reasonable. Just need to find someone i europe that stocks them, any suggestions are appreciated.

Yeah I have Starbike and dulight on email notice cant find anyone else in europe that has them on their site.

[sugarkane]

Order direct from the web site ?

[Bogan]

^This. I did this for my last set of ee's.

I just assumed they were us based? Ill have to give that a go otherwise.

If you are considering ordering outside of EU, then Fairwheel Bikes in the US has them in stock.

Ubyk in the UK are stocking them, I'm led to believe that their first batch were sold very quickly but they are due to receive a new batch in around a week.

not sure if the currency exchange rate will be very favourable right now though?

[nagge]

They are about €130 more expensive compared to Starbike :/

Yes Starbike has a very attractive price (+ that shipping is free of charge for EE). If you ad shipping fee and taxes on top from US to EU, you'll find that Starbike is actually cheaper than any US based seller!
Ubyk also sell the earlier versions, so you should check (if you buy from them) that your order those marked mk3.
If not, you'll buy the older version.
Complete set of EE mounted vs DA 9000 mounted, is - 110grams.
