Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Planet X is having a sale on their CNC brakes. They look pretty sweet.

I was wondering if anyone has any experiance with them, opinions?

They are the same as these Token ones:

Well, I just went ahead and ordered a set.... I've decided I don't really like the Zero Gravity Negative G's I'm running right now.

So if anyone wants the Negative G's let me know

I hope and trust you didn't pay that inflated price. You can get these same brakes on eBay for $120-150. They listed under 'Circus Monkey' or 'Mr Control' and sold out of Taiwan. I got 3 sets of 'em and they're awesome for the money I paid.

What's wrong with the Zero Gs that these are going to cure?

I'll take them..... (of course I'm broke, and you're probably looking for some kind of compensation )

The heads at Token have told me that the Accura brakes were "Like 0G, except they stop."

I'll have a review someday. they're stuck in customs in CA.
