Lloyd B Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Just bought a bb7 looks mint but im not sure how to get the best results out of it as it and has a very squidgy feel to the lever. How long dose it take to where them in? or am i maybe doing somthing wrong? what do all you guys do to get them powerfull enough to gap up to front wheel?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 it could be one of many thingscheap cable will feel spongyif the pads are hitting the disc pissed it will feel spongyeither set it straight or get a bike shop to sort it.

Lloyd B Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 just had another look at it and you can see the side (closest to the spokes) of the calliper flexing is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Make sure the Disc is faced, that should stop any flex. Facing a disc mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Loosen the caliper bolts.Wind the inner pad in a few turns so it keeps the rotor in the centre of the caliper.Pull the brake, so the rotor gets pressed against the inner pad.With the brake on, do up the caliper bolts evenly.Give it a spin, it should rub on the inner pad.Undo it a few 'clicks' so it doesn't rub, but is as close as possible to the inner pad.Now do up the outer pad.I've found that winding the barrell adjuster in the lever quite a lot makes the brake feel awesome. No idea how, just does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd B Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 ive faced the disc now there so there isnt much flex only thing is that it doesnt hold like all of the other bb7s ive tried its not spongey anymore though how long did it take for all your bb7s to bed in properly.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
