The eebrake delivers a rare combination of truck-stopping power and precise control in an ultra-light 198g package. We trust these brakes on our own bikes because they provide better braking power and modulation than any brake on the market - at any weight.
Craig Edwards at eecycle works is passionate about cycling and has the same demanding (some might say obsessive) approach to design and engineering as we do at Wheelbuilder. Very few bike components have as intimate a relationship with your wheels as your brakes and these are the only brakes we sell. The eebrake design is consistent with our philosophy of creating the very best products with performance as the only design parameter.
The eebrake has an elegant quick-release arm that lifts to open the brake and the super light curved front spring is all that is needed to return it. The brakes use Shimano compatible pads that can be installed and removed in seconds without tools, making it easy to switch pads between your carbon and aluminum rims.
The eebrake was a standout performer in the VeloNews June 2009 brake shoot-out between 13 different brakes. Matt Pacocha concluded, "The eebrake clearly wins the battle of balancing power, modulation and weight" (p. 116).
Wheelbuilder recommends the ee brake for use with all carbon wheels using Swiss Stop Yellow King pads and Swiss Stop Green for alloy wheels.

Testimonials:
"...these are the best performing aftermarket brakes available. In fact I think they're better performing than Campy and SRAM Red and rival the new Dura Ace strictly on function and when you toss in weight they may be the top of the pile." Charles Manantan, PezCycling News
"...the thing that got me was the modulation. Ok, so it's true lots of brakes modulate well, and some brakes stop well, but not many modulate well on carbon AND have DA amounts of stopping power. These do." Fairwheel Bikes
"They also have a much stronger return spring; the return spring helps "snap" the brake lever back into place and creates a very stable and secure feel. This feature would be very useful with TT brake levers that rely on cable tension versus return spring." Twain Mein, Road Bike Review
