This same guy also contacted CC, who said these may be CCs own Taiwan-machined arms which failed QC and I presume were knocked together for back-door sales. CC were also unsurprisingly negative about the quality.

Thats interesting. I'd assumed real ee brakes were made in America. The £600 price tag is even more laughable if they are Taiwan sourced.

Indeed, I thought this was one of the slightly embarrassing or revealing aspects of it for CC.

I'd assumed the same but it turns out they only say they're assembled in the USA. I'm sure they've sold a few pairs on people not noticing this distinction.

I saw a blog post on the cc website where they spent a few hundred words trying to avoid any explicit mention of China or Taiwan.
