Carbon wrapped brake calipers. An economical finishing touch

I have no idea if these are any good but a nice way to finish a full carbon build off and $60 cheaper than Dura ace apprently.

Just buy them, you carbon whore. You KNOW you want to!

They are as expensive (or more) than DA or Record brake calipers and roughly the same weight - I think if you want to improve the bling factor while decreasing weight, money would be better spent on Zero Gravity or FRM’s look alikes!

I second the vote for Zero Gravity. I haven’t been too impressed with Sampson’s Quality.

A very similar brake came on my Giant TCR Composite 1 that I jsut bought, I don’t believe they are Sampson but they look EXACTLY the same. I swithced them out for Dura Ace 7800 but did note that the stock ones were lighter than the DA. i put the carbon ones on my P3.
