All this means I'll probably be looking at quite a few grand worth of investment so I'm slowly building up funds. Also, I understand the Breakaway won't be available as a frameset until the fall. I've read some pretty favourable reviews of the 0G brakes as well as ones of them under their old name (Cat Claws) but I would definately like to hear how they faired in the races even though I'm not a racer myself.



Hey just to let you know, My friend and I just bought a pair of the 0G-05 brakeset. I'm running DA 9spd, and he is running Campy Ergo 10spd. The set up on these brakes are not very difficult, but does take a little more time when compared to setting up DA brakes. There is a breakin period, with the cables, but after 30-40 miles of riding everything will work great. Initially, the lever/brake action will feel like it's dragging alittle, but afterwards it will smooth out. Personally, I would say the braking force on the 0G are right up there with the DA dual pivot design.. so there you have it ! good luck!
