That's because for a very long time ZG had the pics but did not have actual brakes with the shoes.

Only recently did they start shipping the blue pads. Anyone who gets brakes from ZG as of a few weeks ago, will get the blue pads.

Getting all messed up. I received several new sets with the blue pads but now with salmon alu pads.....

So far I had sets with orage and blue corima's

and for Aluminium rims: grey (the early very hard version), black (normal koolstop), red (koolstop) and salmon (very soft. look like the rain version of koolstop).

Good to see you around again Jeff.

I received my 0G brakes today as well. Blue pads.

Competitve Cyclist for $430. I think this is the going price from most stores. My box was labeled 0G-06. Perhaps the lower prices are for 05 old stock.

Hi from which shop did you get your ZG-06-Ti? did they also came with the red rubber pads?

I've received mine last week from bicycledoctor and the pads (shoes) was red.

If someone want to switch from blue to red please MP :wink:

Hi, fayrwerks!

I got mine with the '06 label on the box with blue pads and black koolstop pads included from Cristy's bike shop here in Manila. Dunno their supplier.

My LBS ordered my Ti ZGs a few weeks ago. Does anybody have an idea how long they are currently taking to ship?

I would like them for Newton's Revenge on Mt Washington July 8th.
