Mike W Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 hey im thinking of buying an avid bb5 and was wondering if anyone had used one for trials and if so what where they like ? thanksmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 yh they seem pretty good because alot of people use them as a front brake but i would recommend the magura louise as they are also very nice brakes to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch2 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I`d think of Avid bb7. Lot of pro` use it. Easy in tunning and installing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 What is a magura louise like for trials???? Im thinking , because I prefer the feel of hydrolic. I might buy a magura louise instead of a bb7 and magura louise would probabley be cheaper if you think with the bb7 you need lever/cable nd rotor seperate ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewhite Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) yer BB7's you can get really cheap.£58 for the caliper and rotor off of www.wiggle.co.ukGot and avid ultimate lever off here for £25 and a wethepeople vector cable off of www.wiggle.co.ukcome to about £85 bit more perhaps? but they are way nice than hydro's and less problems also Edited December 21, 2006 by joewhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I use a BB5 (as it was only £25 so I couldn't really say no) and it works great. Either get the 180mm or 203mm disc. 160mm can be ok but much more power from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwaytrials Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 This is where I got my bb7 from. Bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
