Components compare and contrast

How do cane creek components compare. There prices are so good I'm skeptical of their quality.

Can you be just a tad more specific? Cane Creek makes a lot of components of all different qualities and stores sell them for all different prices.

I'd suggest searching for reviews of the brakes you are interested in or better yet, test riding a bike equipped with either brake and seeing for yourself. I've read so many good reviews of the Dura Ace brakes, and the performance of my Ultegra 6600 brakes is so good, that I wouldn't hesistate to recommend them to someone with the available cash to buy them. Cane Creek is relatively new to the scene of high end road caliper brakes so maybe theirs are good but they just don't have the reputation yet to demand higher prices.
