echohifi Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 there so far of topic thought id ask about the bb7,s lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, about the best cable brake around. I used them for years but kept snapping the older style calipers so changed to a Hope Mono Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Gotta agree. massive amount of bite and hold. Takes some getting used to trying to modulate them due to the bite, but i guess that's all part of the parcel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbertlemon102 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 BB7 are great but shitty, not meaning to start an argument but something can't be "great but shitty", that's a phrase that contradicts itself, you need to elaborate on why it's great and what faults it has. I've tried bb7s before and the stopping power was immense, but I didn't like the feel of the lever when I pull it. So this good, but can have faults depending on who's using it. I will say they're a thing you have to try before you decide whether you should have them or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ignore him, he is a moron who can't ride for shit and therefore has no useful input. For what it's worth, lever feel can be greatly improved with a decent set up, decent cable and decent lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Ignore him, he is a moron who can't ride for shit and therefore has no useful input. For what it's worth, lever feel can be greatly improved with a decent set up, decent cable and decent lever. I'm hoping you meant him not me I guess I just prefer how with hydraulics you have the feel of "pushing" the piston when you pull the lever, instead of the "pull" of the cable, if that makes sense. They are good brakes though. I wouldn't hesitate to have them on a slightly lower budget build.

N.Wood Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I did, yeah. Fair enough, each to their own. When I had an XTR lever and linear slic cable and set it up well, it was easier to pull than a brand new hope mono trials. EDIT: this was a front, I had forgotten we were talking about rears.

N.Wood Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Standard Avids. I don't think there were aftermarket pads available at that time. This was a good few years ago. On an avid rotor (original, G1?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've had a few bb7's, standard Avid sintered pads on a g2cs or roundagon rotor work the best. Oddesey linear slic cable, avid sd7 lever. So powerful it was unreal. Too much for a mod, on s par with an m810 Saint. It was very on or off, not much modulation, but that's what you want for pure trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I had a used BB7 up front, and I did not really got into it had great amount of bite and hold, I just did not like the feel on a side note, I am retarded when it comes to brakes, so I just bought brand new SLX and that is it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_VD Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thinking about running a 200mm BB7 on the rear of my 24". Can anyone offer any wisdom on whether the adaptors are strong enough to take a lot of abuse? I don't really care that much about modulation on the rear, but need it to have a ton of hold and bite. I know 200mm might sound like overkill but I'm quite heavy. Do you think a BB7 with SD7 lever would be a sensible choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Too spongey on the rear imo, i'd go hydro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
