Avid BB5 Mechanical Disc Brake 2012
To this day, the BB5 continues to attract all types of riders who crave the simplicity and elegant function of the world's best cable-actuated brake. It's more powerful and is easier to set up than any mechanical disc ... ever. Details including the dual-pad adjustment knobs, easy pad replacement, precision ball bearing actuation, and infinitely variable spring tension details ... mean control like you've never felt before. Plus, using any of Avid's Ball Bearing Disc Brakes means that you can choose one of their levers with Speed Dial for sweet, adjustable modulation. Avid's Speed Dial levers deliver sweet, adjustable modulation that you can't get that on any hydraulic. Avid also gave the BB5 a tasty new finish, new inboard/outboard adjustment knobs and a beefy two-piece, forged body.
