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

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 the black ones for aluminum and the blue ones for carbon, too.

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.
The 0G-07 Ti come with a set of four Swiss Stop Yellow King brake pads. These are amazing pads -- ideal for both aluminum and carbon rims. They're light (of course!), but they also shine in terms of speed modulation and lock-up power.

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
