In the latest issue of Christophorus #311 they go into great detail of all the changes they made on the second generation Pccbs. One interesting thing is they are now using thicker carbon fibers. A bundle now contains 400,000 vs 3000 on the first generation, plus the cooling is 20% better. I'm still wondering if threes going to be some upgrade program or drastic price reduction . carl

don't make it sounds like that bad. with proper care it's not an issue. at least for all the cars i know including mine.

love the brake feel & dust free is a plus. glad i ordered it.

dust free? hell no, not on the CGT! this was one of the surprising things to me since the stradale puts out zero dust with the carbon, but the cgt puts out a buttload with the ceramic. feel is also better wiith the carbon IMO.

The CGTs look to be first generation PCCBs . It will be interesting to see how they hold up. carl
