    Horrible looking things anyway (along with many of the other lightweight CNC brakes).

    Are they any good tho! I've never heard good reprts about the Zero gravity brakes whereas with DA/Ultegra/Record etc you know you'll stop. the new Bontrager callipers are however supposedly excellent

    I will be buying Zero Gravity on my next ww bike for sure.

    The red ltd ones are gorgeous oh yes they will be mine ......... there are a few Zero Gravity dealers in the UK, and my sister lives in the States anyway so should be able to get hold of them.

    I've met a couple of people who had them and they told me they looked far better than they stopped the bike (or didn't!). Maybe the makers have improved them

    Yes I have heard those stories too, but I don't know anyone personally who has a pair, so I think the best thing to do is to get a pair and try them myself. Only then will I know.

    Bit out of date but pretty good review, and they guy who writes it knows more about Bikes than shoudl be legal:

    Ive got a pair of Zero Gs, and would rate the stopping performance as good but not great. Its quite hilly round by me, and they have enough force (& modulation) to stop my 92kgs on some of these long winding descents, but I think next time round I would probably buy the Record Skelis

    I've got a pair of these

    http://www.carbontec.co.uk/catalogue.ph ... e&dir=desc

    They come in at a similar weight to the Neg G's and work nicely. Seat of the pants says they're probably better than Chorus skeleton calipers they replaced.

    I tend to use Campag kit myself either Chorus/Record or Centaur but last year used a bike with DA and I have to say that the brakes were superb in their stopping power. That for me is the criteria I would use, not colour or weight but how are brakes under load and how safely can I stop.

    Those NG do look nice tho'

    I thought the negative g's were built with a bit more material, (and hence weight) than the zero g's, to improve the stopping power?

    & you sir are 100% correct...

    a lot of forum users on WW saying KCNC are as good if not better for stopping power..& easier to set up..

    Yes I have been reading this myself, damn shame cos I think the Zero Gravity calipers just look the absolute business! Mind you, that ain't much good if they don't stop you!! lol :D
