A little brake weight weenie porn. 0G-07 Ti
 

I just received my little box with my new little brakes in it. I have been debating on getting these brakes for quite some time now. I finally just decided what the heck and placed my order for them last week. They arrived over at my parent's home yesterday but I wasn't able to pick them up until today. I can't wait to get these installed on my bike. As slow as I am every little bit of weight savings will help. :D

Just for comparison, here's a picture of the brakes they will be replacing. Just a small difference, 182 grams (0.4 pounds).

Heeeeeee heeeeeeeeee!!! You go, LowCel!! :D

Congrats on the new brakes!!

Which bike are they going on?

They are going on the Fuji Team Issue.

Damn you, I had to buy my own swissstop yellows.

Are they the yellow king's for carbon wheels?

According to the website it says those pads will work with either. I'm hoping they will be alright on my aluminum rims. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of pad there though.

Cool. :) I have the OG-06 Ti on my bike. Pretty big weight savings for such a small part, looks cool, and works every bit as well as the DuraAce brakes they replaced.

Mine came with two, blue cork ones for carbon (useless) and black ones for aluminium. If yours came with carbon specific ones along with aluminium ones, I'll take the carbon ones off your hands. ;)

Mine came with the black ones for aluminum and the blue ones for carbon, too.

Unfortunately the 07's only come with the yellow pads. :(

This is from the Competitive Cyclists website. May be on the zero gravity site as well but I'm on dialup. I take what I can get. :D

I have been wanting those for some time Lowcel. I am sooooo jealus. Anyone know the weight of Durace calipers?

for the true WW the yellow swiss stop pads are quite a bit heavier(note the 197g vs. the 168 for the 06's) I am really fond of the koolstop carbon pads and they work on both alum./carbon

yeah, I've got some serious jealousy going on here :)

soooo sweet...

That's weird. These weigh 167 grams with no pads at all. Are you sure about the scale that was used for the 06's that weighed 168 (with the carbon pads)?

Many people would disagree with this.

Those brakes are going to be a sweet addition to that bike.

314 grams (Shimano claimed)

I got my Cane Creek SCR-5's down to 210 grams a pair with titanium bolts, springs and Aztec Mags 2 magnesium pads...

Claimed 314 grams for DA

I have been eye balling me a set of those....give me a month....can the Yellow pads be used on reg rims as well?

I used to have a set of the Cane Creeks. Those things scared me to death on numerous occasions around some of the steep, twisty WV descents. After a final close call with a car on a sharp turn where my brakes just laughed at me I got rid of them.

Yes they can. Check out my quote up on post # 10.

Weird. The SCR-5's are great brakes with terrific stopping power, even better with the Mags 2 pads... everybody I know has great things to say about them.

+1...as soon as I sell off some of the wheels and various parts that I don't want.

My bad. I had the 200SL's. Those things were crap! :o

I would not. I have a set of ultegra calipers (same as the dura ace pretty much) and 06 zero gravity ti's, the ultegras are a bit stiffer while the zero g's feel more mushy (more modulation) from the initial contact but both of them come to the same clamping power having gone down the same hills at just about the same speeds.
