Customer Reviews

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!

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.
