Acliff’s all element stable - Carbon, Titanium, Aluminium, Steel

they are shite and have this unnecessary tightening mechanism for no extra braking power, obv they work but R8000 work better and are easier to set up

Yeah, ride a lot in France and have it Euro on all my bikes.
If I cabled the other way, it might be better I suppose.

On the front, the outer is impeded by the massively thick stem.

Will see how I get on with them now that they appear relatively central for now.

I have older gen Sram red brakes or DA9000 to go on if I get fed up (though r8000 or 9100 might match better with the rest of groupset)

Yeah I was going to suggest swapping the routing over :)
You’re based down south/soton right?

but the callipers float a bit (will wobble even when tighten up) so once they're tightened up, use a 14mm to centre them on the rims. I think I had a similar issue to what you're finding until I realised that, and now I love the brakes!

I am yeah, since my first Peugeot road bike, I’ve always been Euro...
and who needs to indicate safely while braking right?!?

I looked at a number of YouTube videos to realise that the brakes remain ‘floppy’ and it doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t rest on the brake rim.

Had to dial one of the spring adjusters in all the way and the other one all the way out to counter the pressure from the cable bend.

That was my immediate thought, but the cable stop at the rear doesn’t clear the aero seat tube because the the small size and dropped stays.

Front might work, but don’t like mismatched brakes!

yes but why?

I kinda like my red brakes once I got past the shock of setting them up

I’ve had no issues with Red brakes, in fact they are as good as the best calliper brakes I’ve used.

I did pay a man to set them up though.

If you do have one bike out of many with opposite cabling, make sure you don't forget this when descending. (He says, remembering a very sketchy hairpin on a hire bike in Ibiza. Eek!)

Love this.

Put the same brakes (Euro routing) on Kate's tiny Giant. Bit sensitive to cable length, but one you've got it right they're flawless

literally no idea. I guess it makes brake rub less of a problem if it does happen

I think it’s because of the single pivot design, both arms have to remain movable. Bit disconcerting though, makes it feel like the rubbish mixte bike I had a go on in France.

My garage is littered with loads of tiny 5mm bits of brake outer from repeated cutting...

Torrential rain soaked Richmond Park laps today, bike rides like a dream!
Super responsive handling, need to get used to it.

This is so so good!

Thanks, yours is going to be awesome too!

Dolan pre cursa built up with spare parts, the line of the fork looks a little off, any suggestions for an alternative?
Also thinking a stronglight 2000 crank with black ring, which might look better.

The Argos gleaming in France, ready for some hill climb attempts.
Never going to be truly weight weenie, but jazzed up with power meter and lightweight clinchers.
Changing bar tape this week, as the white tape is now more grey and brown.

Loving the bike, loving the weather!
Smashed out 771w for 31s, still only 4th in the Strava segment I was gunning for...
More training, less eating, which is difficult in France with its wine, bread, cheese, ham, pastries...

Trading two places for French delicacies is the right decision

Crusty baguette with jambon cru, Normandy butter, conichons and glass of wine post ride is top recovery food.
