|   Are the Avid Titaniums really as good as XTR V-brakes? | Philip

But if youre paying full retail (I didnt) why not consider the SD7s, which have the same arms, just no ti hardware. |

| I have been very impressed with Avid | liatdraH
Apr 2, 2002 6:42 AM | | I had Ti brakes on my last ride and now I run Avid discs. The Ti s worked every bit as good as my XT brakes without the squeal, probably better: I didn't notice the brake fade as much with the Avids (it was the pads). The only advantage I can see to the parallel push is the increased tire clearance when removing a wheel.
