bikerboysam1 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) What are the differences between the Avid BB5 and the Avid BB7? As I am quite short of money at the moment and do really need a new front disk brake. I noticed that the BB5 is around £40 and the BB7 is about £70, which is quite a big price difference. So... I was just wondering, would the BB5 still be a good trials brake? Or not really? And is it worth the extra money to go for the BB7? Cheers.EDIT: Also, where is the best (cheapest) place to buy one?Thanks a lot,Sam Edited January 25, 2006 by bikerboysam1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 The bb7 has more adjustment options on it, Think the best place to buy would be crc simply because of free, fast delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerboysam1 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 What I mainly want to know is...Is the BB5 a good brake, and why?But thanks anyway,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 The bb5 will be just about as powerful as the bb7, providing you can set it up properly with square pads and correct spacing either side. The set up and overall maintenance will make it worthwhile to spend the extra and get the bb7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboysam1 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Ok thanks, I will probably just save up the. Is there anywhere cheaper than CRC to get the BB7 then?Thanks again,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
