Honestly.......this thing is no lighter than an Evo II, which is MUCH more versatile, and CHEAPER!

Plus, the one thing a brake shouldn't do is flex.\...those upper arms look weak.

Evo 2 - 6.7ounces
Proper magnalite -  5.3ounces

So there is a difference... As for versatility, do you own the magnalite? No? Then how can you talk about it's strength? If you don't know then don't talk. That's final

Well according to DansComp,the thing weighs 6.2 oz.- the Evo weighs 6.7 oz. 

.5 ounce savings for a more expensive, less useful and weaker brake??

Are you worried you don't have the skills to set up the more advanced Evo?? It's not that hard, lots of other children such as yourself have figured it out. Don't fear the EVO.

Calm down, milk-breath. You'll get there one day.....

I actually own the EVO 2 and I love it. I just hate when people like you try to put something down that you've never tried. It's 6.2 ounces with all the BACK brake hardware. Setting up an evo isn't hard at all... You know I'd like to try to see things from your point of view but frankly, I can't get my head that damn far up my ass

I have to agree here.

Please people- only say how good a product is IF you've tried it.

I dont think they will come out with a front brake.
And this one doesnt look like it will work very well for a front brake, the way the cable has to work horizontally just doesnt  seem it could do so..
