I didn't really like the machined look, but after clicking on the link to those brakes, I like them a whole lot better. Those brakes are U-G-L-Y !!! They look like the old brake arch form Marzzochi Bomber forks. henry 05-11-2005, 04:37 AM I rode with someone who used ZG brakes last weekend.

They look like the old brake arch form Marzzochi Bomber forks. I actually think they are an interesting design and makes a change from the modern smooth look. Also their performance is supposed to be very good all be it not yet tested/reviewed... poshscot 05-19-2005, 12:46 PM theres a couple of sets of brakes here that are around 20g lighter than ZGs if you take into account say 50g for brake pads... http://www.poshbikes.com/cat.php?brakes ... but look at the price - thats near a $1000 to you over the pond!!! terzo rene 05-24-2005, 07:22 PM New lightweight brakes from Holland- Check out: www.m5-ligfietsen.nl/main.php?sNewLang=GB ... spotted on cyclingnews website 2 weeks ago.. Mine shipped today. I am using Zero G now and very curious if the [reputed] M5 stiffness is apparent in actual use. carioca 05-28-2005, 07:03 AM Zero G brakes are nice, I wish they came in more colors...

Thanks, but man those brakes are ugly. I'm on the fence about Zero Gravity's looks as well and had I not ordered a set for my new BMC, and had another frame, like a C-50, I probably would have passed on them, if were not for the rave reviews Ive read about the performance of the 05's.

Stainless steal is silver. Used ones on ebay are painted blue. And just for the record, OG's rule divve 10-09-2005, 06:28 AM Looks fake to me. The blue haze over the brake pads is suspect. |
