Damn, that does look like an awesome deal

Cheaper than Dura-ace calipers and lighter? You get what you pay for would be my guess. funky colours though.

They look the same as token AKA accura AKA feather brakes that are being rebranded through out asia.

Interesting colours they have. I like the dark blue, if only there were more parts that colour to match my dark blue/black system6!

I have a pair of the Token brakes and they actually work very well with SwissStop greens. The stock pads did not brake well nor last long. Weighed a little over 200 grams in total. Here is a review by a fellow weight weenie member:

Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm installing a set right now and was looking for installation tips. The cable keeps slipping when I grab the levers hard enough. I'm guessing that I didn't tighten the little bolt inside the barrel that holds the cable tight enough?

Btw, they are coming with the Swiss Stop green pads now.

Oh, and mine weighed in at 195 grams - 10 grams lighter than the listed 205.

I have one pair
I've came from a set of ultegra 6600 with duraace 7800 levers..
These PlanetX cnc brakes with swissstop have more breaking power!

Best regards,

I have a set with swiss stop greens can't fault them at all pads they came with were no good. I think they've stopped the green deal. Been running mine for 4 months with green and have to say they are as good if not better than the old style record they replaced,

Pity they have no stock.

In another thread it was mentioned that you use a tool to hold the barrel and then crank it down tight.

Did you buy from the UK or US?

Thanks - bought US. Rode 'em today and they worked great.

They work just fine. I have a set and have used Dura Ace, Ultegra, and Cane Creek in the past.
I do a lot of high-speed mtn descents here in Utah, so I wouldn't use them unless I had grown to trust them.

One downside is they have no quick-release, so you have to pop the little barrel out of its slot or leave the gap loose enough to get your wheel out without widening the gap. I considered it a small price to pay for the enormous weight savings and super bargain price.
