It should be superior braking + lighter, with small added weight for the bosses or whatever used to mount the brakes. It's good to see not everyone has given up on rim brakes. _________________ http://djconnel.blogspot.com/ Fuji SL/1

But is anyone going to make an aftermarket fork that will work with these brakes to accomodate Custom Builders? I'm pretty sure that if ENVE does it will be at least twelve months. Are Direct Mount brakes really that much more powerful? Any data?

Even with all that, they actually come in 20 grams lighter than the already feathery standard eeBrake, tipping the scales at just 175g for the set…with brake pads and all hardware. That’s just 80-90g per wheel! I think direct mount brakes are essentially two independent pieces. They'll be stiffer because there's one less mechanical linkage, assuming the fork hardware is robust. _________________ http://djconnel.blogspot.com/ Fuji SL/1
