Awesome! I didn't even look at them because I was operating under old assumptions. Also, thanks for the link!

I am happy with the GRX 810 calipers and I think my brake upgrade is hands down my favorite so far. It's a night and day difference -vs- the cruddy (and I am being nice here) Promax F1's that came on the bike.. The Garbaruk 11-46 cassette, long cage and oversized pulleys are nice but the brake upgrade is easily the most noticeable..

Also, for those who don't know, the GRX 810 and 812 series components are equivalent to Ultegra and / or Deore XT..
