2005 Avid cable disc's

[Mr.Ed]

   Anyone here know what the weight differences are supposed to be between the 2005's Avids and earlier years?

Performance differences?

[Mr.Ed]

If anyone's interested

about 41 grams lighter each caliper

and " new" improved pads

thats all I could seem to gather

[shovelon]

Avid's web site says that they modified or eliminated the adjuster knob on the spoke side. That could be the weight savings.

41 grams lighter puts it close to the Marta hydro brake. I saw an MSRP of about $120.

You gonna git one?

[Mr.Ed]

actually I already did, still waiting for the delivery.

155.00 for the SET  front and rear, 185mm rotors and calipers only.


the 6 inch rotor set was a little cheaper

[Mr.Ed]

not that I'm a serious weight weenie, I just wanted something  "current year" for a change.

they should go well with my new King wheelset        ( 2004 of course )

Finally got King hubs !! woo hoo !!

l hope the checkbook flogging was worth it !!

[Matno]

I hope your buddies like loud buzzing noises!  

[alex]

Are they that loud?

I'm planning on getting some too, give use some feedback after you try then.  

Oh are, DM-UNI Universal Disc Brake Adapters (rear) any good, I would make one but I don’t have the tools and equipment necessary to make one

[Mr.Ed]

yes,  kings really are that loud.....some in our riding crew already have them  

way louder than anything else I've heard.~!!

[Mr.Ed]

   We like to call it

" THE SOUND OF MONEY"........and quite a bit of it at that...
