Choosing V-brakes: Deore LX M570 vs. Avid Single Digit 7
I'm planning on buying a V-brake setup for a custom build project. Originally, I was considering Avid Single Digit 7 with the Speed Dial levers after reading numerous positive experiences on them. I was/am also thinking about Deore LX with the M570 ('04 paralellogram) V-brakes and M571 levers. However, I did a search on Avid SD 7 on this forum and read several negative experiences. Problems ranging from "slop" of the calipers on the mounting bosses, not able to tighten on the bosses properly, to arms having to be re-centered too many times. On MTBReview.com, 97 people reviewed Avid SD 7. It has an average rating of 4.86/5 and even got the Consumer Choice Award, versus 4.23/5 for LX M570.
I'm confused now. What do you guys think, should I buy the LX or SD-7? Pro's, con's and personal experience is appreciated.
