The Avid Bremszugbefestigungsschraube Shorty is a small but essential spare part designed for precise and secure fastening of brake cables on Avid Shorty cantilever and similar rim brake systems. Over time, original fixing bolts can become worn, rounded, or corroded, which compromises braking performance and makes adjustment difficult. Replacing them with a dedicated Avid fixing screw helps restore crisp, reliable cable clamping so your brakes respond exactly when and how you need them.
This cable fixing screw is ideal for riders who maintain their own bikes, mechanics refreshing older cyclocross or touring bikes, or anyone who wants to keep classic Avid rim brakes running smoothly. It is typically used at the brake arm where the inner cable is anchored and tensioned. By ensuring a solid grip on the cable, it supports consistent braking power and easier fine-tuning of cable tension. Compact, durable, and purpose-built, the Avid Bremszugbefestigungsschraube Shorty is a smart addition to any workshop spares box and a simple upgrade for safer, more dependable braking.
