Landy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 My avid bb7's that are on a non trials bike seem to stop working well at all as soon as the cables even see dirt. but I got new cable and lube them abit and they run very well.

shabba Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 clean it all with water and then bed it in with water on the disk this worked wonders for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 clean it, check the pads etc. If i was you i would try to keep that disk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantallsop Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I had this problem when i got the BB7, just ride with the break half in so it makes the disc steaming hot then chuck a bucket full of water over it. I did this a couple of times and now its awsome! You don't need to change pads or anything and i run a standard cable so really its just a case of bedding it in and doing the water thing with it.

Mowgli Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I run a hope front disc and i just sprinkle a little bit of water on then ride round with the brake on and it usually works a treat. If the set up has not beded in yet use a bit of mud (really wet) and ride with the brake on till it has all dried. Made mine work uber good.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
