Deore V Brakes Weight

So you may have been wondering how heavy the V-brakes of Shimano's Deore line. Bewilder no more.

The V-brakes are Shimano Deore T610. They will be installed on a folding bike (see previous blog entries for details)



As you can see, the cantilever arms with pads have a combined weight of 338 grams.



If you add the noodle and other accessories needed to complete the system, you get a total weight of 373 grams. That's 35 grams for a pair of noodles and the rubber cover.

In Shimano's website, these are the highest V-brakes they are currently offering. There used to be for XT's and XTR with the parallel pull feature but they don't offer it anymore.

I would certainly love to compare the weights to the T4000 Alivio brakes and the Avid SD7's but I can only spend for just one bike.
