Not genuine? From the same factory as the "genuine" but that has run off a few extra or factory seconds.
If it's too good to be true it probably is.
Almost worth a out at that price anyway.

It's a BB5. I wouldn't take it if it was free.
BB7s on the other hand, are excellent.

I bought a similar set from another seller almost 6 months ago. Arrived quickly and work fine; no packaging other than bubblewrap but instructions were included. I find that BB5s work ok if well set up. Well enough for my needs. I remember that the same seller also had a pair of BB7s for about £45 though.

How do you adjust the outer pad on a bb5 then?

Mixture of cable tension and moving the caliper on the post mounts, easy enough tbh

BB5's work fine if set up ok, but the 7's are a lot better.
