Jake x if your brake's work fine keep them on there, dont just spend out when your brake's work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why would you want to change from marta's to bb7's, bb7's are very good brakes but marta's are even better there would be no point in changing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 BB7 rule, more powerful + easyier to maintain = win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 BB7 rule, more powerful + easyier to maintain = win! he's right, well easy to get spares for mechanical brakes, usually prety cheap to. i run dual avids there rediculous:) but you have to pull prety far on the lever to get a hold, might not be your bag if your used to hydro.

Adam Fisher Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 im loving my front avid bb7. in my pesonal opinion its better than v or hs33 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Smith Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 yo jake bb7s will deffo be an inpovement over those martas you have and if you want to know about how much power bb7s have well you know how good my front brake is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Im tempted to go duel bb7 on mbk. The power is immense and theres no mantance at all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakey boi Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Im nt to sure now marta's are good but i found the bb7's more powerfull but heavyer. I do competitions aswell, so will the bb7's work alround weather? Jake x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Smith Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 mine works in ANY weather snow,mud,hot,cold do it you won,t regret it they are only a FEW grams heaveyer than martas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) if ur discs dont work then id suggest hopes, but im a hope slag and run dual monos so my comment is kinda biased. didnt get a chance to go on chais bike on sunday but ive used some avids on other bikes that have been emmense. i just prefer the feel of a hope lever for some reason Edited June 11, 2008 by Bearded Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 the power and conveniance is worth the weight, i hate bleeding brakes, and if you get brake fluid on your pads/rotor it's game over also if your on a big ride, would you rather buy new cables + fit in seconds, or source out a bikeshop and get new hosing + a bleed? [it's an extreme end of the arguament, but cables so much cheaper ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
