I've got too many v brakes and need to come up with a way to part with some. Simplest way seems to be which are better. I've done some online research and am still none the wiser, though a bit more familiar, so thought I'd ask on here for opinions on performance and durability.
I have SD7s in grey with the SD 7 logo, and some lighter colour SLs with the single digit text rather than SD.
Which are newer? I know the SLs have titanium hardwear, so presumably slightly lighter than the 7s, but are the arms pretty much the same or is there weight saving there too? Most things I've read suggest they are pretty similar. I have an ends with of Avid Tis and would like to find another ends worth, are these essentially SLs rebranded?
I might as well ask how they compare to the red Shimano DX brakes, and also the last Shimano XT v brakes (780?) as I have these too, plus m95x and m970 v brakes as I've a few pairs.
Cheers
Ian
