that NBR dude Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Well I'm going to guess that I will be the only one to reply in here, as Im probably the only one mad enough to buy one, but...Yes I would recommend one. I have a 185 front one, and its actually one of the nicest feeling discs I've had. The lever feel is totally solid, no sponge at all. The bite and hold is amazing for a brake of that price range. I'm sure some people here will disagree, but anyone whos been on my bike will tell you how suprised they were with it. Considering you can pick them up for about £60, I rate this higher than my old mono trial, and infact everything else I've owned.Take the time to set it up, and bed it in properly, and you wont be dissapointed.

cai Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'll recomend BB7's Cheaper, easier to set up (IMO), carn't leak (had loads of leaking problems with my Hope), and are very reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 got one upfront of my jump bike...its niiiice-seems to have uber modulation and the lock seems pretty nifty too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yea I've tried a few, and at that price they are a steal.Its also worth mentioning the cable bikehut disc brake, as that is easily compareable with the BB7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yea I've tried a few, and at that price they are a steal.Its also worth mentioning the cable bikehut disc brake, as that is easily compareable with the BB7.I actually didn't realise they did a hydro one too, I've had my eye on these cable ones for a while and I think I'll get one if my bb7 gets shagged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
