I just read a review that stated they are not going to be convertable between wide and narrow, there will be two different models; though the reviewer could have been wrong. Either way, the brakes look cool.

I'm guessing it'll be early release 2011 product. If Sram has it together (which they seem to), mid to late summer so we all get it for cross season. At the latest it'll be Interbike. All their pros will have it early so they have it for cross vegas then it will trickle out to distros for the rest of us

I had a chance to chat with the rep. at national’s super nice dude. He said 2010 release and they will be adjustable. Can’t wait to try them out!

No exact price as of yet, but he did say that there would be up to ,possibly, three price points. I would guess it would be in the price range of the TRP line though. It would seem that TRP is going to be their main competition on the brake front. Eric, the sram rep, had a set at nat's, they looked great. I only hope that the adjustability feature stays on any lower price point options they have to offer.
