The Best V's

[stevek]

Avid Ultimates have been the best for me (levers and arms) and lasting nicely thanks very much. XTR were good but not as powerful as the Avids.

I've had a pair of Shimano LX V-brakes and levers since new, the old style (M600?) non-parallel push ones. They're none too heavy, nice one/two finger levers and they stop as well as any V brake I've ever used.

P.S. that said, I don't use them at the moment, and they're burning a hole in the bottom of my bits box so they may well be going the way of eBay sometime soon, complete with booster arches and bolts!
