There’s power in simplicity. For years now, ball bearing disc brakes have been a favourite among riders who want control, durability, dependability and piece-of-cake adjustment.
BB’s adjustment knobs make quick work out of setting the perfect distance between the pads and rotor, as well as adjusting for pad wear. This is something you just can’t do with hydraulic brakes. And when you run ball bearing disc brakes, you can match them with Avid’s Speed Dial levers for sweet, adjustable modulation. With modulated power and intuitive easy-to-use adjustability, the BB7s set the standard in the realm of mechanical disc brakes. Inboard and outboard adjustor knobs, Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System, and integrated cable stop spring tension adjustment ensures that Avid’s standard is everyone else’s goal.
Technologies
Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System: Another original Avid technology that makes your life easier – it’s never been easier to fit and adjust a brake. With Avid’s Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System, centring the brake caliper on the rotor is literally possible in just a few seconds. Simply loosen the CPS bolts a little, press the brake lever and tighten the bolts again. Perfect alignment of the brake caliper in no time at all.
