Avid BB7 aftermarket pad options


Scoox

Recommended Posts

I've always run stock BB7 sintered pads but I want to try organics. So I went on Google and it seems there are loads of third-party aftermarket BB7-compatible pads. It's a minefield, without having tried any of them I literally have no clue what they will be like, but I don't want to buy them all only to find that there are only marginal differences. I'm essentially looking for something with a little more "bite".

I've read about EBC pads but I can't get them where I live, any other recommendations? Are Avid's own organics any good? Thanks

Trialtech/Jitsie pads are bar none the most insane pad for trials you can get for the bb7... Get one and never look back!

This x10.

it used to be you tried some sort of organic aftermarket pad and hoped it didn't suck.  The Trialtech or Jitsie pads (they are the exact same, under different brands) are absolutely brilliant on the BB7.  I have been running a BBDB (the same one) for 12 years with a number of different pads and none of them come close.  Go trialtech and go home happy.

As per usual BB7, you need to get your brake setup perfect to feel the awesomeness.
