Oddball Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Hey guys, I decided to sell that hope mini as it was completely wrong for my forks, so I’m now looking for an avid juicy5 or bb7, I was just wondering what one would be the best? And how much are they worth? As I don’t want to spend way over what I should be!Also, if any of you guys have one of these to and are selling it then... I think you know what I’m getting at (sorry if I’m not allowed to put this here :$ )Thanks, Anf. Edited August 22, 2006 by Oddball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 The BB7 would be best I'm sure, although I've not heard anything about anyone using the Juicy5 for trials. I have a Juicy 7 and it's about comparable with a BB7 in terms of power, maybe the BB7 is slightly more powerful. The Juicy feels nicer though.As for price - I paid £50 for the BB7 caliper + disk + pads (no lever or cable) brand new, but I think that was a pretty good price and I've not seen any that cheap since. So I think you're looking at £60-70 for a new one these days. If someone is selling one second hand it means that it's not working properly and you should avoid it But probably £30-40 at a complete guess.P.S. Just curious: How was the mini wrong for your forks?

Just curious: How was the mini wrong for your forks?Ah great thanks mate, I’ve just ordered a juicy 7 for £50, brand new, witch is pretty good I thought and the reason the mini didn’t fit was because I had a number 6 calliper and there only for boxxer forks, and I had a 203mm rotor, and would need adaptors or something?Thanks for the reply, and info dude.Anf.

ben_travis Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 as long as you get IS mount to post mount conversion then it will yes....the actual avid caliper uses post mount.make sure you get a strong 203mm rotor though, my 185 is sufficient at the moment having gone down from a 203mm which generally seems to bend alot and scuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
