Beginning to gather parts to replace in my Look 595 Ultra circa 2008. Was originally built with Record 10 Sp, wcs Carbon stem/bars, Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow, and a bunch of carbon wheels.

These are the first of many parts to replace in order to turn it into a Lighter (14.0 Lb as is) dedicated climber with 11 Sp SR Campy with a climbing gear. Besides, after so many years of riding with these seriously chitty brakes, it is time to safeguard my Life a bit moreImageImageImage

Rear G4 eebrakes.

Front G4

These brakes will go to my C60 and the G3 will go to the Look.

It seems the G4 version is heavier than ever before?
Heavier (175 grm) than the ciamilo zero gravity they will replace, but unlike those these actually stop the bike and don’t require re-centering every time you press the brake levers!!
Hah, correct! The EE and the THM FIBULA is the only brakes that can stop the bike in the lightweight range
Lucky you guys never set up or used Campagnolo Delta brakes...

Ha ha ha.....I actually have a set of those in my steel Guerciotti. Awesome to look at, but suicidal at best to use!!

I hope so.. I just added Roval CLX50 since they are among the lighter clinchers in this depth.

I have not started riding bicycle with proper jersey yet, so it's hard to give a comprehensive review in short term.

I bought size M because of my chest and waist (96cm and 82cm), but I'm 186cm.

For now:
1. Made in Italy, very good build quality e.g. nice zipper (coil though), wash instruction is printed on jersey instead of having a wash label, relative thick and heavy fabric (compare to a Izumi Elite)
2. Nice fit on chest and shoulder
3. Very tight arms even for me, I don't consider myself having big arms even for people with similar weight and height
4. Short font, almost as short as Rapha Classic II, it's above my hips
5. Back pockets is a bit tall

Given 3, 4, and 5, I may need to size up, but the chest will be too loose for a pro fit.

I still have an Assos and a Izumi pro jersey coming (found some deals during Thanks giving), not sure if I will keep it or not (or try a size L instead).

Elite tool bottle, give me room to carry 2 tubes and stop my silca tool roll getting soaked in road grime, will also allow me to mount a light little higher up the seatpost.
