I am new to road gear and in process of building my first road bike.
I am planning to build my CAAD10 frame with RED but I something are not clear like Sram Red brakes
There two types and one is called B2 and can't find details about this type.
I am aware of special mounting for aero bikes.
thanks in advance

Looks like it might be an update to match the graphics to eTap. https://www.bicyclebuys.com/sram-red-ae ... ke/1429807

I have been using all the components for SRAM 's product , but as much as using the brake Shimano 's Dura- brake.
Because, while the brake Sram Shimano 's Dura- pivot brakes are aligned as one method it does not work if there is no leaning to one side as dual pivot.
Sram brake gave me a lot of stress .

That's odd, I find sram red and force calipers to be very simple, set and forget. Even with wide rims. Could it be that you do not use enough torque or a knurled washer/nut? Sometimes the fork paint can fail there and cause slippage too. Also a stiff cable housing that is too long or short can push a caliper. Good luck guys.
