ItsAllGravy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 taking weight out of the equation and bearing in mind i hate dealing with hydraulics ever and have a wack budget and dont really want to run brakes do i: A. buy a new set of avid bb7's B. run a set of avid elixir cr's i can get cheap. Stopping power and modulation being primary concern's which would you run?? i have zero experience with either... or do i save probably for ever hopes? cheers yall...

isitafox Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 BB7's but don't skimp on the cables and get linear slicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAllGravy Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 hmm all linear cables seem to be around 1.5m? do odyssey or anyone make 1.8m+ lengths? think the longest i found so far is 165mm.... i'll have another look or ring around tomorrow... but ta for the advice...

isitafox Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 If it's for that Orange you have I'd probably go for a V on the rear, will be loads more reliable than running a cable disc on 26" wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk2 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 option B...the avid had a better fell/modulation, at least from my experience.. And Stopping power is great...Not saying BB7 is not good, but i would without a doubt go for option B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsAllGravy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) lol i might not have ridden in a while but i diddnt take a bang on the head i am well aware of the options for setting up hs33's to work officiant, i really would rather run disks... im leading towards bb7's still mainly cos cable tension is much less hassle than bleeding brakes idk... maybe its out of laze, but i can ride brakeless to some extent and know i cud get better i just like using the zero to commute to and thats where the need ffor brakes comes in, also seem to find myself taking my street 26er to more and more of my old skool natural spots and then brakes are handy... moss seems to beat me every time brakeless...
