Avid SD7 is also a very good arms to use not allot of flex which you don't want. If you want a nice v-brake then I would think you can get a Avid ultimate lever and arms for under £100 if you can get them second hand, or if you want to go over the £50 pound limit you can pick up Avid ultimate arms from http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7048 . Meant to be very reliable, i've not herd of any braking. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4407 ( This would be a good lever to go with the ultimate arms and is only £30, which would mean you could use the rest of your money to put towards your arms). Hope i was of some use to you. Gaz :( :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 for £55 i would go for an Avid SD7 with an XTR lever. Oh, hang on, i did, and it works great, espcially if you keep your rim and pads clean, If it gets mucky like mine is at the moment, it is just "ok" (Y) I still manage to gap to front wheel when mine is in the "ok" stage, although i can't gap and then hold it on the front wheel like i could when i had it all nice and clean :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
