How well will they stop me?

I know they are a pain to adjust and limited in the tires you can run.

Can you get them to work a bit.

BTW; I live in New Orleans, no hills here at all. Only 1 overpass!

here you go

Campagnolo Delta Brakes work seamlessly as long as they are properly adjusted and have the necessary clearance between the tire and the calipers. You will need a allen wench that is available on line, the size is 3.5mm and should cost under $10.00. Here's a link:

They get you on shipping







On my Gios Professional they function flawlessly and LOOK great!

Who needs brakes anyway??!........They just slow you down!!

Good point ! I already go slow enough!

Still...

They work perfectly well if used in the appropriate situation and adjusted properly and with fresh pads.

I agree, like all brakes if correctly setup and adjusted they work well. if you looking to buy a set look for the "Power Grade" style Csmpi levers to pair with them.

With Delta Brakes you do not need to pray to the bike gods liek when you have rod brakes.

OK OK so he is praying to the sun, still a great pic

found out today that the size 20T torx wrench will substitute for the 3.5 allen wrench size.

deltas are awesome, mine work great, people complain about them but maybe it's cause they don't have them set up right like the other posters have said.....

so i guess this is the "post your bike with deltas thread".... here's mine....

I think I must be the only human being that does not find these brakes to be attractive.

I know... heresy.

Maybe not the only one, BUT one of the few for sure!

I just over paid for a bike with Delta brakes, that and it was the bike I wanted growing up;

i was just thinking that they are actually pretty ugly. big and bulky

i love delta's have had a lot of them already, stil have a few pairs...

these are not all of them..

I agree with you. I prefer double pivots myself. Or some of those "monoplanar" brakes.

I like the way Deltas sell.

Other than that, OFG gave me a good tip a year or two ago about Centaur Skeletons.

I currently have a pair on my Kvale, and they are fantastic.

I also have a pair of Chorus Skeletons that were on my Tommasini.

Easily the best pure stopping power I've experienced in brakes, so it makes it easy to pass on the "Delta" experience.

They worked good enough for this guy:

Yes, they do work just fine.

Once they are set up.

It was too tempting for me, as the $$$ they sell at made it a no brainer.

That, plus the fact most of bikes run modern Campy, allowed me to say goodbye to a pretty face.
