The Duck Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 thanks but how much is the bb7, i have heard alot about it??? Johny There pretty hard to find it seems... But when Chain Reaction had them in stock they were around £50 for the caliper and rotor. Then you pick a lever (ccompletelyup to you and/or your budget) and you'll be needing a cable aas well for that I'd rrecommendan Odyssey Linear cable £6 from alans.

CrOcKeR Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 mine feels ice i havnt really had it long enough to worry about the seals and that so i coulnd say anything along those lines but it feel nice for me i havnt used many but i would definatly say magura or avid bb7 the bb7 will be cheaper and is just as good some people say better but i would beg to differ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsyJoel93 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Good move mate !I've got a Louise FR and it's perfect ! just do the old water over the caliper when you're bedding it in and it'll be so good to you !It's got a sharp bite when you need it and enough play in between to get gaps th front wheel right So if you didn't get it from above its a gorgeous brake and well worth the money Joel Edited December 26, 2006 by JsyJoel93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 bb7 juciy 5 if you cant find a bb7 basically as gooddont bother with magura, crap seals and poor quality metals ruin themmy mate blew the piston seals on my magura louise, the brake did feel nice when it was working, but not half as nice as a avid bb7.
