  • As above

    Cheers

    Piers

  • why? they are shit.

  • Explain

  • Not as much clearance as 6800/9000 and the new gen shimano R8000/9100 have even more clearance than last gen.
    Single pivot
    Centring is not as easy as shimano, requires ultra precise outer length.
    Not the lightest either

    I mean you can make them work, some people even make Campag work but why willingly buy a sub optimal product.

    R8000/9100 are fucking amazing. Merlin has some on discount atm.

  • But shimano levers pull more cable so their brakes will surely be designed around this and will be weaker with Sram levers no?

  • no, I used R8000 with etap levers and they worked as well as the eebrakes

  • In fact I can sell you R8000 pair

  • Well, i have had red aero in the past (and still do on my trek) and love them. Im super particular with setup anyway, so no problem there. I would consider 8000 though (that was my next option)

    What ya sayin?

  • Be careful of this amey person's opinion on brakes...

    #justsayin

  • What ya sayin?

    Shimano above everything with braking.

  • R8000 for sale or no?

  • yeah sure, £70?
