Bontrager Speed Limit brakes

Did you know Bontrager made brakesets? Me neither. But they are lightweight. And black. And I - somewhat mechanically inclined - was unable to actually align these brakes properly so they wouldn't rub on my wheel. Yet-another trip to Salt Lake Bike company taught me that it wasn't my stupidity. Troy-the-super-mechanic couldn't figure it out either. Luckily another Madone was available to steal a front brake from, so my three week old bike now has a brand new front brake caliper.

There is something to be said for a good local bike shop. And it's something good too: They actually can take care of these types of things the same day.
