At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.
What the road.cc scores meanGood scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

The dual pivot callipers have a modified arch which, Shimano say, gives you a more linear response. Possibly – although you’d have to run them alongside the old model and concentrate really hard to notice much difference there. More significant is the brake block compound that provides significantly stronger power in both wet and dry conditions with a single trigger finger, giving you the confidence to ride faster into bends and brake later. Durability is said to be much greater too – although we didn’t have them long enough to comment on that – and the weight per pair has dropped by 30g.

That bike thief must have been thorough - they nicked the paintwork as well!
How does that stop the idiots who overtake you on a blind bend where traffic the other way can be 50mph ?
I just spent 197.31 in town and carried it all home on my trailer. Obviously if I were in my car I would have spend at least £500.
Indeed, there was no outrider or marshal at that junction trying to stop them. Seems like an organisational issue.
