Top Features of the Avid Single Digit 5 V-Brake
Familiarity breeds confidence (not a bad thing to havewhen you're out riding solo in the wilderness). Avid Single Digit brakes are the choice of riders who seek supreme performance in a simple design.
- Force Vector Alignment
- Oversized linear springs
- Spring tension adjustment
- Stainless steel hardware
- One piece brake pads
- Noodle Boot (Overcoat)
- 210g
- MTB
- Road
Lightweight, powerful, intuitive, simple. Each one is Avid-engineered wih Force Vector Alignment® to ensure more energy reached the rim with less effort. We think that features like our special Overcoat noodle boot, super-light exotic materials and long-lasting cartridge pads make our brakes pretty memorable.
But all they really do is make Avid® brakes perform so well that you get to think about how much you're loving the ride....and not about your brakes. Surprises should come from the trail, not your bike.
About Rim Brakes
Rim brakes for bikes use the sidewall of the rim to reduce speed, this is done by a pad on either side applying friction against the rim, which reduces your momentum. Road brake callipers have been redesigned over the years and now use a system called 'dual pivot' which means the brake arms pivot off centre to apply a higher amount of pressure on the rim to increase your stopping power. Most manufacturers use dual pivot callipers on the front and rear, but some Campagnolo brakes use a traditional single pivot on the rear to 'balance' the braking power, the logic behind this is that as you brake your weight shifts on to the front of the bike and as much as 75% of the braking force is applied to the front.

If the spigots have come out of the frame, grip them with a pair of pliers, and try to turn the bolt out. If you can't do this, you'll need a new 'spigot' and bolt from your LBS.
I currently have Avid single digit 3 on my bike, is there any difference in the sizing etc on the 5?
