Negative G Brakes: Any users yet?

[tmanley]

So has anybody had a chance to try these brakes?

Just curious to know if the claims of increased stopping capabilities is true. Since I'm around 90kg's it would be nice to lighten up the brakes and save some weight, but I don't want to skimp on the stopping power.

-Thanks, Todd

I've got a pair on my Marcelo. I also have the old Zeros on another bike.

The Negatives are, in fact, beefier. And, the power phase of the overall "stroke" seems to start earlier than the old Zeros. I weigh 168 and there's plenty of power for me.

Though I never had a problem with the old ones, the Negatives are a bit more reassuring when you're screaming through the hairpins on a really technical high-speed descent.
