ee brakes - better braking?

[denapista]

The key to EE brakes, is running a segmented housing brake cable system... Makes getting the housing length down perfect, and you cut weight from Shimano or Campy housing..

A review I read on them (road.cc) said they have a tendency to damage the downtube when turning the bars to the limit or in a crash. Is this true in anyone experience?

Please keep it below warp in the future —*it's not uncommon to encounter skateboarders and, more dangerous, riders flouting the law by going the wrong way. (I admit I have done this but don't any more.)

I have EE brakes on my main bike. I love them. I have always used Nokon cable housing and setup has always been a breeze. Love the EE's.

this is pretty dumb review of the brakes. I never had this problem never even I have thought about this... its the first I have heard from it.

I mean, I've had brakes that are such if the bars rotate more than 90-100or so degrees then the brake contacts the down tube....but I don't do that so it doesn't matter.

I just don't think its enough of a problem to justify a 2/5 score. I have an etap frame too, so no shift wires and the brake never came even close to hitting the DT. There is still a stiff rear brake cable in there so its not like the fork/bars is flipping around freely.

Oh I was not disagreeing with you. Sorry that wasn't clear. Like, I have a bike where it happens. And I only know this because some doofus knocked it over one time.

I'm not mad at the brakes for it. I'm mad at the doofus!

can someone who has these brakes post a shot of the front cable routing?

i'm having some challenges with cable routing on my new Foresta since the HT is so short and it has HT cable stops. the campy front caliper is working OK, but if the cable routing to the brake itself was a little different, it would help everything up front....

Your wish is my command. Above Category mounted these brakes so I am assuming they are spot on.
