Miles Mallinson Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Avid BB5 or 7 are two good choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam n Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Avid BB7, take a look on http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31347 they're easy to set up and simple to adjust and are a really good brake. i wouldn't recomend a hydralic brake they can be a pain to set up and a pain to get working well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 BB7's snap....Hope's get contaminated easily . Take your pick, that's my personal experience with both ( hence the front magura used now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Actually this new model of BB7 is more snappy than old one. Older BB7 was almost perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
