WOW! they really look good, hope they are for 178$/pair! No seriously, good brakes ARE very important (why do things keep getting in my way!) Thanks for the tip!

Has anyone done any SCIENTIFIC research into the comparable stopping power of calipers, cantis, linears?
Yeah yeah I know, lab conditions may or may not translate to the real world and every bike and rider and load and road is different, but even so it would be interesting (to me at least) to see some graphs, and vector formulas and whatever else those guys in long white coats get up to
