Product Description

Back before Avid dominated the disc brake scene, we dominated the rim brake scene. It?s no mistake that there are still Avid riders all over who ask themselves, ?Why would I need a disc brake?? And don?t forget: A light set of rim brakes is still lighter than the lightest disc brakes systems.

This review is from: Avid Single Digit 7 Bicycle Linear Pull Brake (Sports)

I just recently purchased a mountain bike which did not have a front brake installed. I searched around the web and found stellar reviews of the Avid SD 7 on [...].

Being a bit of a newbie, I was a bit worried at first about the installation. It turns out it was a breeze thanks to the simple, clear instructions that came in the package. Make sure though that you use quality brake cables as well to ensure the integrity of your braking system as a whole (Shimano XTR worked great for me.) I love the SD7 so much that I plan on getting a new back brake as well.

If you're looking for a high quality, low cost brake that has some serious stopping power, I highly recommend the Avid SD7.

These are priced right, work really, really well, look cool, and are easy to install. I am glad I bought these and would certainly use them again if I build another bike. They have almost as much braking power as discs--very impressive. I am now an Avid fan!

After the brake pads wore out on my crappy Tektro brakes which could not hold an adjustment I decided to finally upgrade. After doing some research I decided to go with the Avid Single Digit 7 for the front and rear, and let me say these brakes are leaps and bounds better then the Tektros that most bikes come equiped with nowdays, build quality alone when held side by side next to the Tektros is much nicer, not to mention they actually hold adjustments. My bike stops on a dime! in fact if I'm not carefull I will endo with the front brake.
