I have always liked the look of these and now they are reduced in price I am tempted to give the credit card a bit of a bashing. I assume the weight of 205grms is for the pair which seams very light, has anyone got any experiance of using these and should I be worried about the low weight. They will only be used in the summer as the existing ones will stay on for the winter along with some heavy wheels.

    Cheers, I did see this but it was not clear if it was for the single pivot ones or the dual pivots. Look like they get good feedback either way. :)

    They're single pivot, and a right ball ache...

    A friend has them (cycling nooby) - he really likes them, I'm not 100% sold on them I am afraid (I run Record on the good bike, Shytegra on the commuter/trainer). They look good, weigh good, but they're just something about them that doesn't gel.

    Marmite purchase?

    I have had a set for about a year and have been really impressed with their power and modulation, considering their price and weight. They aren't as powerful as the Chorus calipers I had before, but they are close enough for it not to matter. They do take relatively regular adjustment to keep them centered but its hardly a chore. recommended.
