eep803 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi, my bb5 was lacking bite so I had a look on the net for the instructions for removing the pads. Simple to get out, looked a bit ridged so gave them a good sand and roughen up then came to the putting them back in bit. The instructions said blue pad goes one side, black the other. Mine are both red and look identical. Whats the deal there? The sanding of the pads has improved them but I could do with a bit more bite for some front end action - any pad recommendations? Cheers all, Skinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm sure they're the same as BB7 pads.. One of the little tab bits you hold them with should bend out, that one goes on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter916 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 BB5 pads are both the same, the BB7 pads are a different shape. if you can find a BB7 caliper on the cheap that would eb the best upgrade, larger pads and a much stiffer caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
