Time to sell my Zero-G brakes. I used them back in 2010, then sent them to Ciamillo for their nice refurbishing offer. The refurbish included new springs, new Ti bolts, new pad holders and pads (Kool-Stop black), and new anodizing. The refurb'd brakes looked beautiful when they arrived, but I was using standard Red and Force brakes on my bikes then and didn't want to go back to the fussy Zero-G's (kind of a pain to maintain centering). I kept them in the closet for a few years thinking I'd put them on some kind of "climbing bike", but I just built-up that "climbing bike" and decided I still prefer easy-to-adjust brakes.

The original brakes were not only fussy to adjust, but the springs were weak too. I don't know if the replacement springs are better, but that was part of Ciamillo's impetus for offering the refurb, so perhaps they are better springs. Of course, if you want a pair of these brakes, then adjustability, springs and braking power may not be your top priorities. Chances are you want a very light and beautiful set of brakes.

I won't quote weight here cause you've probably got a spreadsheet with that data.
