V-brakes

A type of ATB brake patented by Shimano. This type of brake is characterized by the brake cable coming at the brake arms from the side (usually through a curved piece of aluminum tubing referred to as a noodle). This type of brake has replaced cantilever brakes on ATB bicycles (as well as tandems and touring bicycles) because the V-Brake has more power and is easier to set up.
