Review on πŸ”₯ The Avid Shorty Ultimate Front Cantilever Brake: Achieve Unparalleled Braking Performance by James Morrow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good and works well

I bought both the front and back so the review covers both. These are some of the nicest cantilever brakes I've ever seen. I'm not too mechanically savvy, but was able to install and configure them myself (so far so good). Beautiful and easy to control and fade. I'm sure it doesn't have as much stopping power as a disc, but if you pull hard enough it still locks up your tires. Anyway, why would you stop for a dime when you're going at a decent pace? You know you'd turn around otherwise. One star off because it's so damn expensive.

Pros
  • Fixing Type: Post
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
