Alex-Mitchinson Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Nope, rotor and caliper only.Shimano xtr leaver is great and either shimano cable or some sort of linear slick cable, same set up as im using and its great!

Caleb Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 sd7 lever and wilkinsons cable, never had any troubles with that set up.people are always on the look for xtr levers mainly for the name me thinks but there terrible, feel horrible and fall to bits, i always found my levers got hit a bit when i used to ride so i'd suggest keeping it cheap and cheerful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Simple, cheap Avid levers work for me. Bashed them a few times and no damage. The best thing being they cost like a tenner a pair sometimes. Cable wise XT or Linear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've used a couple of Avid levers before and havent been too impressed. Found them a bit ''rattly'' and spongey.I've used a deore lever which was still rattly and wobbly but worked ace.I said XTR as it's the best lever I've used on a BB7.

Tomm Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 XTR are pimp, and it's personal preference but I much prefer them over Avid levers (Avid levers aren't as rounded and nice).To be honest though, it terms of power, anything for a Deore/SD7 upwards will be about the same.
