Here are some weights incoming: I used a kitchen scale to measure the brakes - so this might not be very accurate. I measured them without my brake pads (10g/ pair), but I included the new stainless steel nuts. The alloy ones that came with the brakes are so light, that my kitchen scale did not display anything for them.
Front EE brake: 100g (5g of which are the stainless steel nut)
Rear EE brake: 96g (4g of which are the stainless steel nut)
All in all that is 100g less then my DA brakes. Like @greeno said my bike is indeed a caad9. It’s not a proper weight weenie (yet), but I’d like to get there part by part.
I am running 28mm Continental 4-Season Tyres which on my rims turn out to be 29mm. The brakes comfortably accommodate their width and height.
The problem mentioned in the road.cc review is not given with my bike. My handlebars stop the fork from turning so far that the adjusting screw touches my frame. I think the review was quite odd to be honest.
@jameo I added some more pictures :)
