Single pivot = no no

Looks like it's ecluding the Brake Pads and housing, so the weight will be much higher.

Zero grav stuff IS light....

 

The AX lightness stuff has been around quite a while, but they like the idea of excluding pads, holders and bolts from the equation. I recall someone giving an all up weight with peds etc of 160g, so $950 + pads etc extra for a net saving of 8g over the zero gravity OG07ti ?

Dilbert saw them in that light brake review on fairviewbikes.com

 

Their test set weighed 96.3 grams, lightest in test, compared to KCNC's 114.2 and ZeroG's 135.8 grams (all measured without pads).

 

So as GW pointed out, minimal weight savings for lots of $$$. Only justifyable for the looks, then. Ping Pantani...you want?

CWC and Gecco Cycles stock them. Well, Gecco took for ever to get them so I got it from CWC. They are very popular at the moment so they might be out fo stock and will take some time to get new stock in. But CWC I find has a good relationship with the KCNC agent and gets stock same or next day.Marius2008-02-13 00:53:33
