Dale-Hill Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 BB7 on a 185 rotor set up right. It's an amazing brake (and all that's with standard cable and shit ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 bb7 > bb5 worth the extra money any day, for a mod you only need 160, 180 if your a big lad, for stock, 180 or 200. don't forget to invest in good cables and levers, sd7 lever and clarks cable will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
