Avid SD-5 V-Brake

This high-performance brake has forged aluminum arms that are stiff and don't weigh a ton. The Force Vector Alignment™ design reduces boss movement and ensures that more energy reaches the rim. Oversized linear spring provides postive centering with less tension, resulting in a lighter action. Overcoat™ boot stays on noodle and prevents debris from contaminating the inner wire. DIN-approved one-piece pads outperform and outlast most others.
