V-Brakes/Linear Brake digits?
Hi 
. I was wondering if you could explain to me the difference of 1-5-7 digit v brakes.
Ive been looking and cant find what they mean by "digit".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.

That's just showing the price. A SD (single digit 7) 7 is more expensive that a SD 5 is more...Etc.
I'm going to guess - You're looking at Avid? The Avid SD 7 are the best, and affordable, V-Brakes I've encountered.

You're both right and wrong at the same time. To be a V-brake it has to be Shimano. It's like Kleenex.

Now tell us why "V-brakes" are shaped like a letter "U" and "U-brakes" are shaped like a letter "X"!
