Muel Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 sd7 lever XTR Lever is soooo much better than an SD7.For a bb7, you need an XTR lever and an Oddessey Linier Slick cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 XTR Lever is soooo much better than an SD7.For a bb7, you need an XTR lever and an Oddessey Linier Slick cable.i dont agree with you at allive got an sd7 and my bb7 is considerably better than other peoples ive used with xtr levers and for 11 quid you cant go wrong really.

Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Fitted my 160 BB7 to my mod yesterday and so far its been great.I am using an XTR leaver and its lovely.Break wise, I have loads of modulation and a reasonable amount of lock, I think this will change as it wears in a bit though.

CurtisRider Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 ive got an sd7 and my bb7 is considerably better than other peoples ive used with xtr levers and for 11 quid you cant go wrong really.hes probably thinking of the older squarer profile sd7 levers which suck, the new one is supposed to be damn good (so say you and many other people) but i've never tried it-xtrs and ultimates are my faves so far oh yeah, bb7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 185 avid bb7 is more than enough 203 if you really need the power to stop a tank instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom3bar Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thx for the replies !BB7 it is, with the SD7 lever - also it'll keep it at low cost...What brake cable are you guys using? any other things?Oh, have a quick all-around question about frames sizes:I'm about 180-182cm, what frame size (long wise) you recommend for my height?thanks,Tom.
