Since taking over sales and manufacturing of eeBrakes, Cane Creek has been having some fun with the colors. In addition to the standard version with anodized black and silver accents, Cane Creek has introduced a rolling limited edition lineup with two limited edition brakes per year.
For the first half of June, the newest eeBrake option is the El Fuego – with a combination of platinum and burnt orange anodizing.
They are worth the $$$ if you want to mount really wide wheels and tires. They are sort of your only option. I’ve got 2 sets on my 2 bikes because I wanted to mount Reynolds Aero 65 and 80 wheels. I must say the combo works like a dream, collective braking and stopping. Power almost threw me off the bike initially, coming off a set of 404 firecrests and Enve’s. If you want/need wider these are the widest at the moment and quite effective. But yeah, it’s a bitter pill to swallow investing so much in rim brakes at this point….
