I am giving up on aluminium braking surfaces because I don't need them. I weigh 60kg, and live in London. If I was going to be tearing down alpine descents, I'd get some aluminium tubs, but I'm not. I'm riding short, quick training rides and 100 mile club runs on the weekend. I'll take the aerodynamic and weight advantage, thanks.
I'll take that ~185g saving, and I'll take the 25mm wide brake-trake against the Zipps 18.7, and I'll take the profile that's been stolen from a 2013 SES Enve wheel, rather than a 2009 Zipp, and I'll save £400 off the list price of the Zipp 60's, and I'll get wheel bags, rim tape and 45g skewers included.
p.s. I would love to hear what constitutes a proper company in your eyes.
But sir its London I was talking about and the wet braking on carbon ..
