  Product Description
Avid BB7 Disc Brake - Most Heralded Cable Actuated Brake in the World!

SRAM's Avid BB7 Disc Brake - finally, a cable-actuated ball bearing disc brake that works like disc brakes should. Avid has obsessed over the design and it shows. The BB7's 160mm rotor is perfect for typical XC riders needing improved braking power. Avid’s BB7 mechanical disc braking system provides tenacious power and superb modulation, without having to upgrade your levers or bother with hydraulics. Throw in the Caliper Positioning System (CPS) which ensures perfect, effortless alignment of the caliper to the rotor and you have an affordable, high performance disc brake.

Features:
• Caliper Positioning System
CPS allows easy caliper adjustment to the rotor - no trial and error.
• Easy Spring Adjustment
Simple micro-adjust spring tension is achieved with an Allen head set screw.
• Easy Cable Anchor Bolt
No barrels or threading a needle - same as a rim brake
• Fully Sealed
Fully sealed to keep elements out and performance in.
• Tool Free Pad Replacement
No tools needed to replace pads.
• Standard Disc Hub Mount
Same offset and bolt hole pattern as Hayes.

With these specs and the rave reviews it has received from such sources as www.Mtbr.com, it's easy to see why SRAM's Avid Mechanical BB7 is one of the best mechanical disk brakes in the World.

In the spirit of Avid design, the CPS disc brakes are designed to spend very little time installing and adjusting the brakes - so you can spend more time riding. Throw in fully adjustable brake pads and spring tension and well, you know the rest.
