If you ride rim brakes, then you know that Cane Creek’s eeBrakes are one of the best options on the market. What you may not know (or maybe you do) is that since 2017, Cane Creek has released two limited-edition versions of its eeBrakes each year. Offered in limited quantities, these special-edition drops feature unique color combinations that set them apart from standard options.
The latest in Cane Creek’s years-long parade of limited eeBrakes is the JPS edition, a black-and-gold brakeset the brand says “is here to celebrate a shared love of cycling and motorsport.” They’re the same lightweight, high-quality eeBrakes that riders already know and love, but now available in a colorway that celebrates one of motorsport’s historic liveries.
According to Cane Creek, “The black and gold JPS livery that adorned the Team Lotus Formula 1 cars in the late 1970s and 1980s has easily become one of the most beloved liveries in the history of the sport. The Lotus 79 was the first modern ground effects car in F1 and was driven by Mario Andretti to the 1978 World Drivers’ Championship. Later, the black and gold would be piloted by the legendary Ayrton Senna to further victories.”
The Cane Creek eeBrakes JPS feature gloss black brake arms finished with gold hardware. This color combo is sure to pair well with other gold Cane Creek bits from the Chroma Studio for those building a custom rim-brake road bike. It’s worth noting that Cane Creek produced only 150 sets of the limited eeBrakes JPS edition. They retail for $779.99. Head to the Cane Creek website to check them out or pick up a set before they’re gone.
And for a trip down memory lane, be sure to check out past eeBrakes color combos, including El Fuego, El Diablo, Alchemist, El TD, Al Asesino, El Tornado, and El Rosado.
