So, I'm building up a new Fuji SL 1.1, and I thought I'd use a Planet X CNC brakeset, but they don't seem to be available anymore.
Anyone know what the deal is?
Please spare me the critiques of my choice of brakes. I've got two sets that I'm perfectly happy with.
But... If you have a suggestion for something in the price range with similar performance and weight, I'd love to hear about it (especially since I can't get the Planet X's).

If I recall, the trp 960sl were 230g something with pads and were significantly better than the planet x. I think there's a pic of it on the scale in my Parlee thread or Xicon.

Those were just rebranded anyway. As sanrensho mentioned, there are probably a half dozen companies rebranding those. Might want to also take a look at the Far and Near brakes, which were rated pretty well by FWB.

Oval concepts rebranded them as well with a slightly better clamp http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oval-Concepts-R900-Road-Brakeset-Lightweight-Ti-Hardware-SwissStop-Pads-235g-/311484668463?hash=item4885eeda2f:g:O9YAAOSwvt1WRdgk

What is the comparison to KCNC road brakes of similar price?

Token Accura also have a version. Had mine for 5 years no issues.

edit. these appear to have been discontinued by Token as they no longer show up in their catalog.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?
One.
So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

The cnc planet x's were 109 on sale, 139 normally. The $69.99 ones were the forged. The ovals appear to be a little heavier, likely the bigger and better cable clamp, and they include swisstop yellows along with standard pads. Planet x's usa site doesn't say they're discontinued, just out of stock.

I used to have KCNC CB1 [ the lightest ones] I switched to the 200grm planet x brakes.
I thought they [planet x] braked better and were much easier to look after.
I had to strip down the KCNC brakes every time they needed a clean. That's why EE brakes don't appeal.
The weight gain was worth it "It is sometimes you know"

I meant £69.99. The mr-ride ones on ebay are coming in at £142.12!
