There are really only a handful of products that come to mind if you're looking to drop some serious grams without compromise, and brakes aren't somewhere where tradeoffs are an option. And that's why the eeBrakes G4 Direct Caliper Brake from Cane Creek is so refreshing.

It's worth noting that the brake pad installation and removal are also tool-free, however, pads are not included, which isn't that big of a deal since almo...
