Avid Single Digit 5 Bicycle Linear Pull Brake (Black, Front or Rear) Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Good stuff, cheap price, makes for decent upgrade for most off the shelf bikes., By This review is from: Avid Single Digit 5 Bicycle Linear Pull Brake (Black, Front or Rear) (Sports) I own high end components (like Campy and Zero G) and obviously this isn't high end.But it's good bang for your buck and a decent upgrade for most sub-700 dollar off the shelf bikes out there. When my wife's Townie showed up with flimsy no-name brakes that appear to be made from something resembling compressed aluminum shavings... I popped a pair of these on. Night and day in terms of performance (you can tell the difference in quality just holding them in your hands compared with the no name junk). Nice! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful way better than my old cantilevers, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Avid Single Digit 5 Bicycle Linear Pull Brake (Black, Front or Rear) (Sports) I was fed up with my cantilever brakes on some old bike I bought. Then I decided that V brakes would be the logical upgrade. Paired with the Avid FR-5 Single Lever, these brakes work great. It was my first time installing brakes by myself, but I learned a lot in the process. These brakes come with so many adjustments. There's pad spacing, spring tension, pad angle, and more adjustments using the pinch bolt on the brake and the barrel adjuster on the brake lever.

All the adjustments are done with an allen wrench (don't know the exact size) or a small phillips screwdriver. This brake comes with two noodles. One makes a 90 degree bend and is for front brakes; the other makes an acute bend and is for rear brakes. The brakes make a squeaking noise towards the end of a stop (when pads touch the rim with force),... Read more Great Brake, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Avid Single Digit 5 Bicycle Linear Pull Brake (Black, Front or Rear) (Sports) Replaced the stock Promax brakes on my Rockhopper with Avid SD5. Stopping power is single digit operation, easily stops with one finger on the brake lever. The brakes were easy to install and adjust. They work great and are a nice upgrade. I looked into the SD7 brake, seems like the main difference is the SD7 has replaceable cartridge type pads. Did not see the advantage to this, and the SD5 is less money. If you have a bike with linear pull type brakes, you won't go wrong with the Avid Single Digit 5. |
