spartan Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Being honesty, you can get more power out of the vee than out of the bb7.But in terms of what would be the better brake i think the bb7 or on of the juicy's would be good.They have more modulation, which is better for the front, and you really dont need a mega brake for the front anyways.BB7 *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeaky Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 i would have a bb7 and put a good cable on it with something like an xtr leaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Go for Avid BB7. Organic pads + good lever ( Avid SD7 etc., Shimano XTR ) = Cool brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 You can get both to be amazing brakes with the right set up ie. good vee pads and arms and lever. And a good cable and lever for the disc. But both brakes will have different qualities. The vee depending on pads can be very on off with little modulation thats on a smooth rim with bit of tar, but with different pads and on a grind it could be little grab and hold better. The disc brake will be pritty on off and grabby with not much modulation. It depends on set up really. If you dont like hassle get the disc as its pritty much set up and leave it.

Alex Dark Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Avid disc for me...although, as the person above said, its a matter of deciding what you want from a brake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
