I'm glad, because I've just bought a pair of QS2's.

Cool if you could take a pic, I'm getting curious...

Hello,

i tried to get the brakes, too, but was overbidden. :cry:

I had them 4 years ago for a complete saison for racing. On trafic-less roads and on flat roads OK, but if a crash is is in front of you or a descent, you have no chance to stop!!!

They are nice, light, aero, but the braking power is bad as the translation/ratio is too big, so you pull a little bit on the lever, and the caliper moves a long way.

After that i had another light old brake, but after some friends left me alone on a descent in high mountains, i sworn NEVER use very light brakes that have not enough power. You are much slower with them on a descent and at cornering!!!

It's certainly the mark of a nice design when they still look modern 20 years later. They would have looked right at home in a 2006 trade show. :)

It´s nice, but why do you need an aero brake when you have such a wide frame with great head tube and seat stays????
So, i would buy the brakes, i think you don´t need them!!! :D

Hi All

I was googling "kronos" and saw this thread
2006 ~ till now, how are your kronos holding up?

Just wanted to say that the rear caliper in your photos are mounted wrongly?
I remember reading instructions that both front and rear calipers
must be mounted facing forward.
If not, it will lead to the caliper cracking.
