Yep! Confirmed!

Great looking brakes though. Quite happy with my ZG's but they tend to "grab" a bit. Is this normal?

Hi LJ

In combination with your lightweights they do indeed (same with mine). you might want to experiment a bit with a few other pads (the corima's arent the best for lightweight wheel) LW's own pads are better and the standard 7800 pads (not the carbon version) don't do a bad job either.

Hey Sharkman!

I am using the LW pads but just found my Record/Bora combination a lot smoother to brake. There is ample stopping power with the ZG's but they just seem to bite then let go. If its normal, its normal I guess!
