ConnorPowell Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 My bb77 is being a bit... gay. i have new pads for it and put them in, first week they were brilliant, then they have gone horrid, they lever feels spongey and comes all the way in and when i take my wheel out the pads just fall out they dont stay on the caliper bits? can someone give me an idea as to what the problem might be please?Cheers Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 is the spring the pads come with f**ked? or did you even put it in? also, what lever are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 maybe put them in backwards? i really dont know sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 when you put the pads in they should click into place and not budge.If the pads are faling out then they might not be in properly, could also account for the sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Check all over for snaps/cracks.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Check you have all the ball bearings in there, as I got given an old one and it was crap because it had only the one bearing. Popped a few more in and its fine. I think its because it generates play because theres nothing to push against it. Also check the pads and spring too.
