The Avid Bremsarm Federkit Shorty Ultimate is a dedicated spring and small-parts kit designed specifically for Avid Shorty Ultimate cantilever brakes. Over time, the return springs and associated hardware on rim brakes can lose tension, become contaminated, or simply wear out, leading to sluggish brake response and inconsistent feel at the lever. This service kit allows you to refresh the brake arm mechanism so your cantilever brakes snap back crisply, improving modulation, control, and overall braking confidence on cyclocross, touring, or commuting bikes that use this popular Avid system.
Ideal for riders who demand reliable performance in all conditions, the Avid Bremsarm Federkit Shorty Ultimate helps restore factory-like function without the need to replace the entire brake. It is a smart, cost-effective way to extend the life of your existing brakes, especially if you ride frequently in mud, rain, or winter road grime. By renewing the springs and related hardware, you reduce drag, improve pad clearance, and ensure that your brake setup remains easy to adjust and maintain. This kit is a practical upgrade for home mechanics and workshop professionals alike.
