Bitrunner - I think consensus is that shimano make some if the best road calipers around.
I do agree with their quality. Unfortunately, Shimano sells with the intention of you having to buy their product a second time once it brakes. I was always happy as long as they worked, but you cry when you realise that some broken simple peace of plastic results into buying the whole new set.
err,... :-)
This is the Steamroller thread, no hate thread of one's opinion about a certain brand. Don't want to follow it any further here...
Btw, I'm new to this community. Never had a fixie before, but after riding with fixed blokes on the road made me change my mind and can't wait until I've got the ride set up.
