The king of all mechanical disc brakes is even better for 2011. If youve decided not to move to a hydraulic system, this is the very best mechanical option available.
Avids CPS (caliper positioning system, included) continues to make setup and adjustment a snap, saving you valuable time you can spend riding instead of wrenching. Each kit includes one Avid G2 rotor, a round style with excellent cooling and mud-clearing properties that also offers quiet operation.
Note: this is the mountain bike version of the brake. Avid also makes a road-specific model for use with drop bar bikes.

- There is no "front" or "rear" option. Both F& R adapters are in the box. Order Qty "2" if you need enough brakes for one bicycle
- BB7 features inboard and outboard pad adjustment knobs so you can easily dial in the pad<-->rotor clearance (an upgrade over the BB5)
- Works with all linear pull (i.e. "v-brake") levers from any manufacturer, but best when paired with an adjustable-leverage ratio lever like Avids excellent Speed Dial line
- claimed 329 grams
- All BB7 disc brakes are 74mm post-mount style; and include front & rear adapters for 51mm IS disc brake mounts in the box
Note: this is the mountain bike version of the brake. Avid also makes a road-specific model for use with drop bar bikes.

Pros
- Easy To Install
- Excellent stopping power
Cons
Best Uses
I added the BB7s to my Specialized StumpJumper after years of using standard Avid rim brakes. Installation was very straight forward and only took a couple of hours from start to finish. These brakes work really well. I am sorry I did not upgrade sooner.
Pros
- cheap
- Decent modulation
- Durable
- Easy setup
- Minimal Maintenance
Cons
Best Uses
I am using BB7s with Paul Love Lever compacts and Jagwire cables. With a 185mm rotor up front and a 160mm rotor in back, power is more than sufficient for my uses. I am 155 pounds, and ride XC on a 29er. Although I ultimately prefer the feel and modulation of good hydraulics, this is still an excellent, bulletproof setup. Modulation is quite good and reliability appears to be top notch. Following the included instructions, I find pad positioning to be relatively simple. If you want a dependable and quality mechanical disc brake, look no further than the BB7.
Pros
- Easy to adjust
- Good instructions
- High Quality
- Huge braking upgrade
- Includes tools
Cons
- none
Best Uses
- Disc brake replacement
Upgraded everything on my entry level Raleigh talus 5.0 including the promax brake setup. These brakes are quiet, easy to adjust and just adds awesome control to the bike.
