eeCycleworks EL PLATINO Limited Edition eeBrakes : DIRECT MOUNT

Season:2019

Brand:ee cycleworks

Code:BEE0219

Every so often, the guys at eeCycleworks decide that they'll rustle up a pair of limited edition colourway brakes. These 'El Platino' in Silver and Platinum are the latest edition and are built on the 4th generation spring platform for best ever modulation and stopping. Stand out from the rest while benefitting from the superb braking modulation and weight savings that the eeBrakes bring to bear. 

eecycleworks of California have been manufacturing beautifully engineered road bike caliper brakes for some time, quietly building a following of performance focussed afficionados who revel as much in their performance as they do their aesthetic. Recently, Cane Creek entered into a long-term partnership with eeCycleworks to manufacture the eeBrakes to enhance their product line and also bring the brilliance of eeBrakes to a bigger audience. Historically, the small Californian based company had had some difficulty meeting demand and Cane Creek will help to remove the availability barrier.  Described by media as, “engineering brilliance”, eeBrakes are truly in a class of their own.  Relentless engineering and precision craftsmanship have resulted in a lighter brake with dramatically higher overall stiffness, better modulation and more power than the current industry-leading offerings. 

The eeBrake is the ultimate brake from start to finish– a uniquely robust patented design developed and refined by continuous engineering, both at the computer and through real-life testing. At half the weight than that of its competitors, eeBrakes continue to set new standards by which all other high performance road brakes are judged. The supreme upgrade for performance oriented riders, a dramatically higher overall stiffness provides better modulation and more power. No detail has been overlooked, greater tyre clearance and tool-less pad centering make installation simple.

PERFECT CABLE ALIGNMENT. 
The eeBrake cable adjuster pivots as the brake is applied, optimizing cable alignment during brake actuation. Also, the cable housing extends to the lower tip of the cable adjustment screw eliminating added friction. That means, as the brake lever is squeezed, you get even and friction-free braking power.
 
AERODYNAMIC. 
Cross Cable Path aligns the brake cable over the center of the brake. This alignment provides a graceful, clean line and moves cables into the “wind shadow” of the frame, providing an aerodynamic advantage over traditional brakes with their cables and lever arms off to one side of the caliper.
 
EASY PRECISION. 
The tool-less adjustability provides super precision and pad motion consistency through the patented “Link” pad travel proportioning system. No annoying pad rub and constant need to re-center. No more re-adjusting the main fixing bolt after initial installation or using spring tensioning screws to align the brake pads.
 
QUICK & SIMPLE. 
One simple flip of the lever on the Quick Strut release opens wide enough to easily clear a 28mm tyre allowing easy wheel removal. Change pads with ease using ee's patented system that employs Shimano style pads to allow for easy pad installation and removal without the use of tools.

The Limited Edition 'El Platino' brakes are available for traditional centre-bolt mounting and Direct Mount applications

Sizing Information
Professional Opinion

I've always changed my brakes from the standard units that come with groupsets. Generally those that focus on a single range of product tend to deliver better results and I also like to be a little different were possible. I ran TRP's excellent R979 EQ Magnesium brakes on my Ti bike but for my latest lightweight carbon bike have (finally) fitted a pair of the eeBrakes. I instantly loved them, modulation is superior to everything I have used and this is particularly beneficial on carbon rims and on long descents. Obviously they are exceptionally light too which is ideal when you need to shed weight and like food too much to diet properly! Set up is not as hard as many think, pretty simple in fact and the level of fine-tuning and tweakery is second to none.

They also look amazing - intricate and refined and can be customised with replacable 'ee' bridge badges. Thinking about it, these El Platino's will look very nice indeed on the Ti bike.....
