Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes are the industry standard for a reason: great stopping power, tons of modulation and easy installation and adjustment.

One comment about the instructions, get yourself a magnifying glass as the print is super small and hard to read. Once mounted and adjusted I found these brakes to give smooth and controlled stopping power. I does not hurt that they are very cool looking. Included in the kit is a small Torx driver. I...
