Product Description:
|
|
|
|
New Shimano 105 is new for 2011 and incorporates many of the benefits that were originally developed for Dura-Ace 7900 series and integrated into Ultegra 6700 series. The new group is available in Sterling Silver for a classic road cosmetic or Lodestar Black for a more contemporary look. Overall, performance and durability is enhanced while the entire group manages to drop almost 30 grams from the prior generation. New Super SLR Design relocates the brake lever pivot for better mechanical advantage. Synchronized with the new brake arch pivot a greater level of modulation and power are available from the tops of the brake hoods, where most people ride a majority of the time. Adjustable toe-in on the brake shoes allows for fine tuning braking performance while pad compounds nearly double wet weather braking performance. Available in silver or black the new 105 brakes are compatible with Ultegra 6700 Dual Control levers.

Bianchi Pista, August 23, 2011
By J. Santos (NYC)
|
|
My Bianchi Pista came with a cheap front brake from the store. It barely stopped the bike even when fully pressed. I decided to upgrade to this. This brake is not only smooth but it will have you doing endos if you really get on it.

Performance doesn't get much better than this., September 1, 2011
By David M. Hall (Ohio)

The quality and performance of Shimano components continues to improve. The 2011 105-series calipers (5700's) are no exception. I do not believe you can buy a better performing rim brake today regardless of how much money you spend. What one gets for more money is lighter weight.

i just upgraded to 105 brake calipers. brakes super smooth even when braking from the broke hoods. (on my magic acksyum rims) there not to grabby either. its a super improvement from the cheap brakes my bike came with. the cheap ones made my bike rattle every time i brake. and these work great when there wet as well. really smooth braking.

Awesome brakes!, September 18, 2011
By W. D. Hill (Farmington, CT, US)

Replaced much older Shimano 105 brakes. What an incredible difference in braking power. Highly recommend these brakes. Look nice, easy to install and reasonable price.
