The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Avid SD-7 V-Brake:

Love these brakes. I have tried SD 5 before, although they modulated well and were super quiet, I wanted a little more stopping power.

I was not dissappointed with the SD 7! Immediately I felt more stopping power, firmer and smoother overall lever feel (which I'm suprised since the arm design is very similar to the SD 5). They can be a little noisy at times, but nothing like howling or squealing. They do not modulate as easily as the SD 5, possible since the 20R on those are a softer compound. But, paired with the SD7 levers with the adjustable leverage, it helped that department a lot. All in all, I am very pleased with the performance of these brakes, am glad I paid extra over the SD 5, and will definately go with them again if I build another bike with V brakes.

Another thing I noticed is how easily it was to get the tension between the arms right on the money which has not been the case with lower end Tektro, and Deore level V brakes.
