Pantani Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 How many Suff Effrikan Ronts will these set me back?
VeloRacer Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 The last time I checked they were R3500 a pair
VeloRacer Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 They are one of the lightest calipers around tho.
Iven Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 They're really nice! Just what Mr Bling needs!maximo2007-12-30 08:11:43
Zaskar Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Speak really nicely to 101%, he may be able to help you out. He hooked me up with these for my new bike.. 168g for the pair, and about another 15g for the pads!   With the complete bike weighing in at...Not bad for a 58cm bike with pedals, bottle cages and a clincher wheelset!
Iven Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Zaskar, have you noticed a difference with these?
1kTT Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I have a set of the OG-Ti's. I actuallt prefer them to Dure-Ace- I find them more progressive and easier to modulate, even on Carbon rims. I find stopping power is about 85% of DA. They work well, look very cool and weigh nothing- highly recommended!Â
Racer X Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 What are you all complaining about, to buy the equivalent brakes for an mtb,disk, you are looking at 7 grand.
Zaskar Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I agree, they do feel slightly less powerful than my Dura Ace brakes, but nothing that would make the ride dangerous. They dont have the dual pivots of Shimano and Campag brakes, so they do have a different feel but the modulation and power is spot on.  They are a little tricky to set up, but with new cables and new brake blocks its not difficult at all. Reading all the reviews on roadbikereview i was a bit nervous initially, but after setting them up myself and then riding them i can see that they actually do perform very very well! I would say  if you can afford them, go for it
David #7 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Pantani, I would suggest that you dont buy these brakes as they are only going to slow you down!!!!
Christie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Pantani, while you are shopping around, also have a look at the new KCNC calipers. They are claimed to be 20 grams per set lighter then ZeroG, costs a bit less, and comes in gold anodize They have SA agents, some of the CT guys bought some a while ago. Perhaps they look a bit too bling in gold? They come in black, too.http://www.light-bikes.it/jpictures/test/kcnc_road_c_brake/9_sized.jpg
Christie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Here are some black ones on a scale (incl. pads) http://www.light-bikes.it/jpictures/test/kcnc_road_c_brake/corima_weight_sized.jpg  I've found a comparative review:http://fairwheelbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4289In short, they thought that the KCNCs outperformed the ZG Ti's on stopping power and modulation. Looks like they will cost about R2100 new. I want !! Christie2007-12-30 21:52:35
