TrialsMan Dan Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Im tghinking of getting a avid BB7 from tarty with an avid SD7 lever, is this a good choice? what do you recomend? great combo! i have an SD7 lever and its got a really comfortable blade and good adjustment, hopefully soon i'll be getting a bb7 caliper to match. just remember to get a decent inner cable along with a linear slic outer, gives the brake a light, smooth feel, making it really easy to pull.

shamus Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Try having a gander on a bmx site like pijin/alans/winstanleys for linear cables. They were designed to stop barspins binding up the cable and applying the brake, but work really nicely, as mentioned above, to give a light lever feel and good control (as the outer doesn't bunch up, this prevents power loss) Decided to be kind and include a few links Pijin Alans Edited October 8, 2010 by shamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alle.C Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) how much better is the SD7lever than the FR5 for a BB7 ? or is the Avid Ultimate lever the best (actualy doesn't matter because I still don't have afford with one, but anyway ) ?
