Peerage. Goldiex. Sunpeed. Just why?! These companies should run a little survey outside of China on naming their products...

P. S. They look great regardless of unfortunate name. IIIpro generally seems to make good products.

73.5g for the levers means I can take my zrace x2's down to 357g and make em look much nicer

These are a much better value option than Lewis Brakes. I agree though - china comes up with some proper wtf names for their products and seem so random. I think i'll bite the bullet on a set of these in silver to replace my maguras which has been something on my list for a while!

Peerage. Goldiex.

As an englishly-challenged, I have to ask: I assume that "Peerage" (an actual word) becomes funny if you read it "pee rage" ... yea, it actually is pretty funny. But why is everybody giggling about "Goldix"?

Could be a fairly literal translation of their Chinese name-reminds me of a article I read about how the Chinese pay for consulting services to pick their English names to use for business, so a woman whose name in Chinese is Linden (after the tree) becomes Lindsey.

do you can make the overhaulin to analises the lever? is the adjust only on reach lever or have bite contact?

Besides a weight reduction, does this type of lever and hydraulic actuator work better than the regular IIIPro levers?   (Modulation, stopping power, response?)

Hose routing to the levers appears to require a handlebar that supports interior routing.

Yeah. I'm very interested in your impressions. I also wonder if they perform any better then the other IIIpro or Zoom 910.

I have some of the zrace x2s right now and will only be using the levers (not the calipers) so I can cut some grams so you will not get a review of the calipers but only the iiipro levers with the zrace x2 calipers. The IIIPRO calipers are the same as the zrace 4 pot ones.

Have you had a chance to form some impressions of the brakes? Can you compare them to more mainstream brakes from the Big S'?

I have 3 sets of the III pro brakes in service.  First pair was installed in Dec.22. 2nd pair June 23, and 3rd set Sept. 23.    The first set has been used hard, and I have worn through a set of pads.   2nd and 3rd bikes do not see as many miles and/or adverse conditions.    I have never ridden on any other "High end" calipers.  but in comparison to my XT calipers on my older FS bike, these work equally, if not slightly better.     Perhaps on my next build, I will purchase some Lewis brakes...  To date, I have been very pleased with their cost to weight/performance ratio.

so far good. I wish they pushed a bit more fluid per stroke length and I wish the clamp was a standard Sram or Shimano clamp or even the trickstuff clamps. Also wish it didn't have the no tool reach adjust as it is unnecessary and adds grams/looks ugly. I also wish the hoses would stay still when you tighten the banjos at the lever especially on the front brake. they are 328g for the set which is S- tier.

I'm keen to know more too. I just started running IIIPro's on my Surly Krampus and I'm about to install Zoom HB-910's on my Cotic FlareMax.

Nothing gets me more fired up to ride, except maybe a UTI
