Or they would be, had I not installed dual pivot calipers on every one of them, thereby destroying $2700 or so in market value of each. Whoops! 😬

I put dual pivots on many bikes and will happily continue to do the same, I like the way they stop. I'm not even concerned about what anyone thinks about my braking crimes.
