The Omega is now in production! Get yours from the TriRig Store.

We've instituted a number of rolling changes to new brakes, the most significant of which are about to be released. Have a look at the full article for the detailed scoop on these parts.



The Levers have had rollers installed to reduce friction and improve service life.

The new pad holders use a cup-and-cone interface for greater strength and a tighter fit.

The Brake Arms had to be modified for the new conical interface.

Here is the complete Upgrade Kit in white.

You can see an old Pad Holder (left) compared to a beefier new one on the right.

Here is a complete white Omega with the new parts.

You can barely tell they're there, but the rollers make the service of the brake easier.

The new pad holders look identical from the outside, but have greatly improved strength.

Of course, the kit is available in black as well.

Here is the black Lever, which gets a black roller as well.

Color-matched rollers keep the brakes looking very sleek indeed.

New Extensions from Zipp?
I spied these prototype extensions at Retul Boulder - they look like VukaShift extensions with a bit more rise. Very interesting indeed.
