PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Avid BB7 Mechanical Front/Rear Disc Brake

To this day, the BB7 continues to attract all types of riders who crave the simplicity and elegant function of the world's best cable-actuated brake.

I've been running BB7's on my bike for several years. I am still on my first set. I've never used hydros and plan to make the switch one day, but have never really felt the immediate need because of how much I love my BB7s. They were easy to install and easy to maintain. Great modulation with the avid speed dial 7's. If you can't drop coin on a good set of hydros, don't despair because the Avid BB7s will treat you right.
