Anyone have these and care to comment on their worth?
I had the SRAM Red brakes with the stock pads and did not like them I switched to koolstop black/salmon pads. I thought they did a great job.
A few months ago, I switched over to the new 2012 SRAM Red brakes. All I can say is wow. I felt a huge difference in braking.
I have the 2009 SRAM Red brakes now with yellow Swisstops and work well. Was mainly asking for aero properties but safety is always #1.
I run one up front on my DA. I am very pleased.
Pros: it is strong and solid unlike the DA’s rear brakes, looks awesome, easy to change pads for cc wheels unlike the “aero” brake that came stock on the DA, easy to adjust width via quick release for 808 vs 101 (and not change braking feel)
Con: the cable/housing can affect centering (ie the cable can push the brakes to one side or the other) so attention must be paid to this during setup
