Any experience or feedback? High end brakes, nicely designed.

I have three pair of Zero Gravity brakes. For me they work great. Not everyone thinks they perform like the major group brands. I'm not a clyde and I don't descend, so I never have any issues. But lots of other folks think they are very good too.

I have a thing going on with him right now that is annoying. Too bad, creative guy with some cool looking
designs. If there is anyone who needs a business manager it is Ted.
If this part works out , however, I still want to buy a set of those great looking anodized brakes.

I had a set of the original Zero Gravity brakes several years ago. They worked ok for awhile, but after having them reconditioned with a more powerful cam, I could never get them to stay centered, and I sold them.
Ted has a horrible reputation for being bad at business. My experiences with him have always been solid. I spoke with him on the phone once, and when I sent the brakes in for reconditioning, the turn around was quick. That said, I did not think they looked that good after reconditioning. The logo was off-center and crooked. Kind of annoyed me.
I also have experience with the guys at Irish Cycles, and they are top notch. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I know EE Cycleworks EE brakes cost more, but they are excellent and Craig is also very very nice and helpful.
