Fixed Cx Brake Judder

By Martin Downey

29 May 2012

5 / 5

I recommend this product

Consmaybe a bit basic, but performs well

Prosprice, the only mini-v I could find anywhere

I got this brake to fix a problem on my Cannondale CX9 cyclocross bike. The standard cantilever brakes juddered violently on braking due to the carbon fork flexing and stretching the brake cable tighter. This little brake fixed a big problem, and I would recommend it to anyone getting judder with centre pull canti brakes. I would have paid more for a higher spec brake, but that said this one works perfectly.

Can use with fatter tires?

By Mario

Like 700/45 or above??

SJS Customer Service:

Hi, we cannot confirm this as tyre width and profile will vary depending on the rim they are seated on.

Pivot spacing

By Peter

15 Nov 2020

What is the minimum distance between the brazed on frame pivots at which these brakes work and does it depend on rim width? Also, how does the brake pad orientation vary between the front and rear brakes

SJS Customer Service:

We don't have this information on hand and suggest contacting the manufacture directly as to what parameters they have designed the brakes for in terms of braze-on width. Pad orientation does change for front and back brakes.

Do these brake have clearance for 2" tyres? Cheers

Hi there,

2" tyres relate to 50mm, generally mini V brakes are okay for tyres up to 35/37mm.

Thanks

Do The Gemini Mini V Brakes Fit On Standard Bosses?

By Tim Dowson

28 Apr 2015

a) Are they as powerful as standard size V brakes? If not, b) are they any better than cantilevers?

c) Alternatively, as the problem is lack of space below the rear seat bolt (and there is little room for a travel agent), are there any V brakes where the 'other' arm takes the cable (ie on the rear pair, the right one has the noodleholder and the left the cable clamp), as the routing on this frame is along the right of the top tube.

Thank you.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

These mini brakes are powerful, but due to them having slightly less leverage than standard V-brakes they will be slightly less powerful. They will however still be much more powerful than most cantilever brakes. Unfortunately all of the V-brakes we stock have the noddle fitting from the left hand side.

Thanks.
