Brake advice please.

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I’ve recently bought an 20” Echo Lite, with dual Echo disc.

Personally im not a fan of them. When I used to ride I had a BB7 on the front, and a HS33 on the rear. I just wanted to see if BB7s are still good quality/ highly rated (I liked the modulation and adjustment on them); or if BB5s are a good alternative?

I also wanted to ask if the later (2014) HS33s are also good, as I only ever used the older generation ones.

Thanks in advance.

BB7s are still fine. The older one piece caliper bodies are better than the newer 2 piece versions, but on the front either will be fine. If you're buying new, TRP Spyke mechanical disc brakes are even better than the best BB7s. Lots of adjustment and more pad options AND tons of power.

I'm dual disc on all my rigs so someone else will have to chime in about HS33s.
