Just got hold of a pair of BB7s for a great price....anything I need to know before I attempt to fit em, clearance at the back looks tight, what size discs can you run?

Any advice/ guidance appreciated before I start ๐Ÿ™‚

Are you using drop bars/levers, and if so, are the bb7's the road versions?

I have a 160mm rotor in the back, more than enough on the road.

@cp - yep all good re bar / lever compatibility thks.

Just trying a 160 rotor in the back, frame clearance fine, but disc rubbing slightly within the calliper itself, presume I just need to play around with spacers .?

All good so far, thanks to all for the advice ๐Ÿ™‚
