eeBrakes

Just have to say if anyone is on the fence about these brakes they are the real deal. Very nice modulation. Have them mated with Corima Red Cork brake pads. What I found with these brakes is that it is hard to lock up the tire which I see as a bonus.

I too prefer my brakes to not have ample stopping power. Thinking of upgrading to Campagnolo Deltas.

Awesome bike, I tried to buy a set here. Several offers. No follow through.
Looks great. How about some more photos?

they are the absolutely worst brake to keep clean.

but they are indeed fantastic. And it can lock a wheel, maybe not a carbon wheel but that is not the brakes fault

My brake somewhat moved and was rubbing on the tire for a ride and shaved a mm off, more tire clearance now / was so sad since they are so expensive.

If I had the cashflow I would have them in all my bikes, I was very lucky to get these for crazy good deal, more like free


I have the older version -

I concur, for a part that is truly crazy light, they still work as intended. Set up was easy, with well thought out adjustment, nothing finicky at all. No regrets here....

Power for days. Not sure what might be happening with yours, but I can easily lock em up.

Best brake around.

I guess what I meant was that I don't have that on off feeling I experience with other brakes. Grabbing a fist full of brake will for sure lock them up.

Trundling down the bike path the other day and some young lass comes outta nowhere at intersection...and yes, I skidded both tires..5 pivot deltas but Deltas are the closest thing to anti lock brakes.

Those are the same current version as the one on the Colnago...older ones didn't have the wings on the cable adjuster.
