HED integrated brakes

I’m looking at a set of Black Dog’s and wasn’t aware they came with integrated brakes. Anyone have any gripes with them? I’m a big fan of a strong return spring on brake levers which my TT500’s were not impressive. Thought it might be a bad set and swapped them out, but they sucked even more:( Just looking for opinions b/f I drop serious coin, thanks!

If i recall the Blackdawg and the Corsair both come with spring return unlike the original Hed integrated Aerobar

Just finished my 3rd season with my Black Dog’s, and have not had any issues with them. The brakes work fine for me.

The Black Dog brakes are great and should not be a concern. When it comes to routing the brake inner cable… that can be a real PITA.

The brakes are strong. The Corsair is available in both an integrated and “open” version. The open allows for Di2 or whatever brake you would want to run. Ciao -Ian

Agree. The brakes on my Corsair were very strong with DA7900 calipers. I found the ergonomics great. I moved away from the original Corsair for the e-version. Love the Di2 buttons on the basebar but don’t find it as comfortable as the version with integrated brake levers.
