I just happened to find this video because I need to work on my Avid Shorty brakes again. I've been confused about these brakes for well over a year now. When I searched youtube after I bought them, there were no good videos on installing them or adjusting them. This is a great video which answered many of my installation questions. I think I figured out a good way to adjust them, but I'm not 100% sure I'm adjusting them the best way. It would be great if you could also make an adjustment video. The owner's manual is lacking a lot of information. These are great brakes once you figure them out! Thanks!

Some very neat work. Those brakes are way more complicated than I thought.

Hi, you can replace the bosses too... keep the good work, your channel will grow!!!

Doh! Totally didn't even think to see if they're removable but are the holes in the frame or in the boss part? Thinking on it off the top of my head they're in the frame but still a really good point I didn't think about
