AVID BRAKES


2012 Avid Shorty 4 Cyclocross Brakeset

The Avid Shorty 4 Cyclocross Brakeset includes everything you'll need to equip your 'cross bike, front to rear and at a smoking deal. Geometrically, they're identical to the Shorty 6 brakes. Shorty 4 Cyclocross Brakeset DetailAnd aside from finish quality, the real difference is that these use a one piece brake pad/stud where the higher priced Shorty 6 brakes use a pad holder and interchangeable road pads. They're the working-class brake of choice for most cyclocrossers who'd rather splurge for a fresh set of Grifos.

Avid's Shorty 4 Brakes are built to work with any road levers. Easy pad adjustability, spring adjuster screws on both arms, and 70mm brake pads make them an ideal choice whether you’re trying to build yourself a CX bike on the cheap or if you’re going no-holds-barred. They have plenty of stopping power, and the center mounted pads reduce brake chatter.
