I was also hoping a new design would be slimmed down alot to make it more aero thats why I suggested a bridge to stiffen it up!
I was not suggesting a carbon copy.
something inbetween a hooker and an ax that stops well and could be used either with or without a cable housing.
I know a lot of people want aero at the expense of stopping power but I personally want both.

Q) If you look at each brake, Matts design the Hooker the AX and the Tektro all have good and bad points, If you could take all the good points put them together what do you have?

A) perhaps the ultimate Aero Brake?
