    Favorite Ride:
    home from work

    Bike Setup:
    look frame n forks, d/a ult' mix

    Summary:
    fantastic upgrade from 105 sc. i had thought that the price difference was absurd given that the 105s are solid, light, attractive, effective, but these things are stunning and have given me the confidence to ride with a recklessness that will make my granny sweat. next stop, dura ace...

    and they're very shiny.

    Strengths:
    they stop your bike quite well

    Weaknesses:
    nope

    Favorite Ride:
    any

    Bike Setup:
    2002 Trek 5200, stock

    Summary:
    They have a spongy feel. Stopping coming down hill requires quite a bit of force. My Veloce bike stops with far less effort and a solid feel.

    Strengths:
    They work.

    Weaknesses:
    High force needed to stop.
