Planet X brakes

[beeatnik]

Dig the Planet X brakes (especially the price). A lot of advantages with Campag. Very good modulation and extra clearance. On my CAAD10 I can run up to 30mm tires w generous clearance. I've had the brakeset for about a year and have run them with the included blue pads and a few carbon pads. Breaking has been more than adequate for my 165 pounds. After setting them up I never really thought about the design or quirks but here's a pretty good rundown:

Great review, I had the same experience with mine moving from Red as well. On the cool factor... they just look cool .We are a ww group, however cool factor is part of it if things are equal and weigh less.

If anyone in the UK is looking for a pair of these, I've noticed that the forged ones (in black) are currently on offer for £50 on the Planet X website. The CNC ones are going for £90 in various colours.

Just bought a pair of the forged ones in black from the UK site. Looking forward to installing them on my Allez.
