$666. Discuss.

666 - The mark of the devil.

....and it's red.

Why?

And they are making 666 of them...

Exactly

They would look pretty good on that new sl2 though.

I think they would look pretty good on one of my SL1's. :D

They'd also look good on my Orbea Opal, which, judging by the picture, does not have enough Red on it yet! :D I guess I'll make do with my 0G-07 Ti set :rolleyes:

FWIW - Scholars also do not think that 666 is really the mark of the devil; it's more of a pop-culture reference at this point [not to delve to much into religion and what not].

I like it.

Can't afford it, but that's another story.

full disclosure: i feel the same about all zero G brakes.

Yes, but are they lighter?

(66.6 grams, each?)

"Limit 2 per customer".

Yeah, ok....$1,300 for 2 sets of calipers. Now there's a great deal we all should jump on.

Yeah!

My bicycle is Safety Yellow, wouldn't work at all.

Do they make a long reach version?:D

Me likey! However, I'm a working class schlep and can't afford them. :(

Considering there are plenty of people on this forum with $1,000 "beater" wheels, I'm sure they're going to sell plenty.

ROFL!!!! :roflmao:

That woman is INSANE!!! She was on wife swap or whatever that show is.
My fiancé and I could only go, and I quote, ":eek:!"

fair enough

I want them and yet, I will never have them.

probably because you like to stop when you hit the brakes.

I thought at first it was John Belushi in Animal House. :roflmao::roflmao:

FULL full disclosure: this applies to all cycling paraphernalia that can be described as either carbon, titanium, ceramic, anodized, lighter, ergonomic, or otherwise pro.

^^^ The placebo effect is STRONG with this one!

I've never understood the weight obsession, particularly with a component that I'd trade heft for knowing it'll actually work when I desperately need it to.

+1

Having used some crappy non weight-weenie brakes that have gotten me into trouble more than once, I don't understand why someone would compromise stopping power for such a tiny weight saving.

It really does come down to the fact that there are two types of cyclist. Those that ride their bikes to get fitter and faster, and those who buy bicycles to pose with at the local cafe. I'll take fitness and cycling "ability" over "bling" and fancy bicycle parts any day of the week.
