TRP CX 9 review (http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/10/cyclocross/%e2%80%99cross-brake-check-trp%e2%80%99s-new-mini-v-brake-and-eurox-magnesium_145253)

I don't understand how this is any different at all from the Tektro 90mm "mini-vs" that have been out for years.

Except the Tektros are a lot less expensive.

How about a review on the Campy Veloce mini-V brakes?

TRP and Tektro are the same company. Maybe the TRP version has nicer hardware or cartridge pads.

I have been trying to figure out the difference myself.
They don't seem like an upgrade from the stock brakes on my Tricross- other than their bling status (they are nicer looking.)

Perhaps the Titanium handles judder better.
