I saw that last night but how much are the calipers/adaptors ontop?
RD - you need levers and cables on top of that
Got to fit a new BB tonight fella. Got my hammer ready and everyfink. If you fancy a pint later though, I'll probably need one. As will my bike. Think I'll take it for a local, pub-based jaunt to check everything's working. Or not
Riding the Clywdd's Saturday and Sunday 😀
Hora go for some Avid Elixers. They stop me fine. I think Merlin have got some good deals on those at the moment
The problem with Avid is that whilst they are good when they are working, they seem to not work more often than most.....
I've never liked N.Wales. I'm riding Ladybower tonight if your interested?
You've never liked North Wales? Is that because of the 'incident' with the Welsh Male Voice Choir, the Miners lamp and the tub of grease.
I promise I won't let them do that to you again
Any V brake lever and a brake cable you can get from wilkos for the 99p, surely everyone has an old v brake cable lever un their old parts bin?
BB7s have always been reliable for me
Have you seen that wiggle have saints in the sale at the moment, levers are £80 for pair with hoses and oil and calipers are £70 each.
Not exactly cheap but a good saving on retail.
Currently liking my BB7s, as good or near as dammit to any hydraulics I've used, although I'm still experimenting with pads that don't screech in the wet.
Isn't fade down to pad compound though, unless the BB7 calliper transmits significantly more heat away from the pad then its not going to solve anything is it?
