eecycle Works eebrake Pro Review – By Twain Mein
- Cost: $519 MSRP (without brake pads)
- Unique industrial design
- Exclusiveness; different
- Excellent performance
- Made in the USA
- Light weight: 162 grams (pair) without pads; 182 grams with Dura Ace pads
- Very easy to change out brake pads (for those that have alloy trainers and carbon racers)
- Adjustable reach to fit many bikes
This is a review of Craig Edward’s latest creation, the eebrake. Craig was originally known for his “Sweet Wings” cranks that came out during the early ’90′s. They were superlight cro-mo cranks that featured an integrated bottom bracket design that has since been copied (incidentally, he is also working on a new and lighter crank due later this year). In any case, his manufacturing and design talent can now be found in these stunning new brakes.
Editor’s note: these brakes are also available in a black finish. The black finish might be more complimentary on the black carbon bike.
I’ve seen these, and they’re beautifully ornate and simple at the same time. I love the aesthetics, and they’re small and light. I’d definitely consider replacing my Zero G’s with these, especially with the quick pad installation.
Why were KCNC’s CB1 Road Brakes left off the comparison list? At $330 MSRP per set and only 168 grams complete with pads, they’re a steal for the money, look and work great and are far easier to install and maintain than Zero Gravity’s.
Thanks for pointing this out; I didn’t know much about the KCNCs.
That weight is very impressive; same with the price point.
There are also Feather brakes which are about 200 grams and $400.
