Avid Single Digit Ultimate V-Brake

Avid Single Digit Ultimate V-Brake: This sleek CNC rim brake pivots on sealed cartridge bearings so you'll get smooth, effortless stop. In fact it's stopping power will amaze even disc brake devotees. It also has a lefty/righty reversible noodle which allows you to route the cable from, you guessed it left or right lever. Beautifully sculpted from solid aluminium billet, it's very lightweight – just as you'd expect from Avid. Sealed Cartridge Bearing: No friction here – these are smooth as butter CNC Machined Aluminium: Very stiff design and immaculate machining Force Vector Alignment (FVA): Reduces brake boss splay and improves performance, efficiency and control Oversized Linear Spring: Provides positive centering with less spring tension – resulting in a lighter action Stainless Steel Hardware: You don't want corrosion do you? Locking Overcoat: The Overcoat retention system that works. Prevents Mother Nature from causing friction inside the noodle Rim Wrangler 2 Pads: Hi-performance, long lasting replaceable cartridge brake pads – now has a universal fit Finish: Pro Black Weight: 182g

Campagnolo Centaur 10 Speed Skeleton Brakes

Campagnolo Centaur 10 Speed Skeleton Brakes: Lightness, power and control. This is what you want. Campagnolo's has replied with Centaur brakes with the skeleton structure which make it possible to achieve lightness and braking power. And this is also thanks to the use of forged aluminium. The front and rear brakes are differentiated with a double and single fulcrum respectively, in order to obtain the maximum braking power and limit the risk of seizing. Greater rigidity combined with even lower weight was the goal targeted by Campagnolo's engineers when designing the skeleton™ brakes. A combination that enriches virtually every groupset in the Campag range, from Veloce™ through to the range topping Record™. Ahead of all its competitors on the market, Campagnolo has always pair particular attention to obtaining effective braking in all cycling conditions by modulating front braking compared with the rear. Skeleton™ brakes have also been designed with this criterion: thanks to its double-fulcrum architecture, the front brake is able to grip the rim with around 70% of the total braking force; the rear brake, which only has a single fulcrum, stops the rear wheel from swerving – due to the lightening of the rear – thanks to the application of a force that is lower than at the front. The single pin structure also makes it possible to save a few grams compared with the double-fulcrum one. The analogy is obvious: think of the ABS on cars which prevents wheel locking when braking and think of all the safety this has provided. Differentiated Campagnolo® braking aims to give you the same safety on your bike. One of the key principles behind the design of every component is the discriminating choice of material. After considering the complexity of the stress map brake bodies are subject to, Campagnolo established that the best material for making them remains aluminium alloy. Campagolo's engineers have applied a basic tectonics concept to Skeleton™ brakes, one that substantially lays down two roads to follow: the use of the smallest quantity of material possible and the location of this material at the maximum distance with regard to the neutral bending axis of the section considered. By doing so, Campagnolo has optimized the component's weight-rigidity relationship and obtain a weight reduction which is around 30 grams for the Skeleton™ Record™ brake. And this is all done while actually improving the traditional reliability of Campagnolo® braking. Forged aluminium arms Skeleton design Differentiated brakes Orbital adjustment

Campagnolo Veloce 10 Speed Skeleton Brakes

Campagnolo Veloce 10 Speed Skeleton Brakes: Campagnolo have provided the Veloce groupset with two brake versions. The classic double fulcrum model has been joined by the Skeleton version with a hollowed and lightend structure. The braking torque is guaranteed in both cases. Skeleton brakes are differentiated with a single fulcrum for the rear wheel. Greater rigidity combined with even lower weight was the goal targeted by Campagnolo's engineers when designing the skeleton™ brakes.
