I can only compare them to record and dura-ace though :oops:
I will post how they perform once I have ridden them for a while.
They do look sexy :lol:
Will be going on this.

Any news on the KCNC CB-1 2010 brakes?
I ordered some and found later it was in back order. Then the guys said if I could wait couple weeks I would get the new 2010 model. Have not gotten them yet. :thumbup:

however a bit old and heavy white shimano brakes serve me well these days
these are rx100 brakes, i think they did not have sti s those days but i never found those

i agree on DA7X00 being a bit grabby its not remotely as bad as some beefed up singlepivot brakes do like the speedlimits
the double pivot leverage works progressivly so its a matter of feel for me
however a lightweight of 65 kg wich is basicly almost 30 kg less then me can go without a bit less braking power
i like sram brake calipers modulation but with a bit more power if it woudl be possible

are the trp more sram then shimano ??

a light bike does make you go faster unless you are slow

I've seen these are now on sale online.
Can someone please post a side-on pic of these installed on a bike?? I'd like to know how far they stick out in front of the fork/stays...

Any updates on these? Considering them or the EEs. Will be using with Fulcrum Racing Speeds on steep mountain decents. Just hate the look of the EEs.
Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

Mine arrive in a few days. :mrgreen:
I'll let you know how they perform compared to shimano, mavic SSC and FSA K-Force calipers.
We also have a lot of STEEP descents here in Tenerife, testing @ 20%+ is no problem. :twisted:
