Avid Shorty 6 Cantilever Brake: That noise you hear is the cheer of every cyclocross, tandem, recumbent and sticker-laden courier bike rider in the world. Finally, a brand-spankin'-new, better-than-ever brake … the new Shorty. It has Avid's time-tested pads and hardware, and its new arm design reduces vibration. Plus, it's lighter than ever! An old buddy that wil never let you down. Back before Avid dominated the disc brake scene, we dominated the rim brake scene. It's no mistake that there are still Avid riders all over who ask themselves, "Why would I need a disc brake?" And don't forget: A light set of rim brakes is still lighter than the lightest disc brakes systems.
