Wow
I upgraded to these brakes from BB5s and the improvement is amazing. For those looking at both, the 20 or so extra dollars per brake gets you:
- Slightly less weight (20-30g) per brake
- Finger-click adjustments for both pads (the BB5s only support finger-click adjustment for the inner pad)
- And the big difference: Larger, more-effective pads
Most agree that the hardest part of installing mechanical disc brakes is getting them "dialed in" so that the pads and rotor are aligned. The BB7s make this process simple, allowing me to get perfect alignment on both front and back on my first attempt.
Thanks to the pad adjustments on both sides, its easy to adjust these brakes perfectly and get the type of modulation you are looking for. I have cheap (but nice) Avid FR-5 levers and have successfully tweaked them to start light-engagement after a quarter inch of pull, with zero rotor scrape when they are not engaged.
As for the power, it...

Easy setup, seem to work great...
I installed these as an upgrade on my wife's bike. She was on Hayes Sole hydraulic brakes that were an incredible hassle to keep functioning properly between the need to shim and the constant resetting of the inside pad distance.
These BB7's went on super easy and with their alignment method were properly aligned the first time. Adjustment with the two knurled knobs is very easy and by adjusting the distance between the outer and inner pads (outer is closer), setting modulation is very straightforward and effective. Once set, you never need tools again!
Short street test rides show great modulation and power.
Will submit a ride report after a few weeks (of my wife's comments and my tweaking). Thus far, really nice brakes.
Excellent product for the price!
I have these brakes on two of my mountain bikes now and I love them! For a mechanical brake these have to be one of the best. They are extremely easy to install and adjust fairly easily when necessary. The stopping power is very good... it won't be as strong as hydraulic but it's better than most rim brakes.
Very high quality, great value, easy install and smooth operation!
