sstein Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Some people say the older ones are stiffer, to be honest I have noticed no difference apart from the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 the older avids are farfar superior....because theyre a one piece caliper constructiojn, theres far less flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 My 2 old calipers (snapped them both) were one of the best brakes I've ever had, then got a new black one and it is THE worst brake I've ever had, the only difference was the caliper, pads, rotor, lever, cable, set up was all identical.
