The Avid BB7 is one of the most popular disc brakes on the market. It is inexpensive and simple to install, and when it is set up correctly it can offer a similar amount of power to many hydros!
The trouble is that many people do not obtain the best performance from their new brakes because they failed to account for the various factors that determine how well cable operated brakes work. So I have put together a quick list for people who may be having difficulty in order to track down what they might be doing wrong.
- It is important to bed the brakes in. This is the case for all disc brakes, not just the Avid BB7's. If you take the time to bed your brakes in properly it will enable the brakes to obtain full power. But don't risk glazing the pads with heavy braking during this process.
- You must be aware of your cable housing route. Do not use sharp bends.
- Use a weather sealed cable system. This will be worth its weight in gold once you start riding in wet and muddy conditions.
- Make sure that your pad distances are set up correctly and your calipers are centered properly. Follow the Avid instructions to the letter.
- Use compressionless cable housing and run it full length to avoid unnecessary cable friction. This more than anything can solve a lot of issues people may be having.
Set up correctly these brakes should offer enough power for you to be able to lock up the wheels using only one finger. But while they are simple to install initially you really do need to take account of everything that might have an effect on them. Bad cabling is one of the main causes of problems. Especially cable systems that are are suffering from the effects of mud and water. When performing a new installation of the Avid BB7 I would always recommend starting with a completely new set.

Every lock has a weakness, and any person with enough determination, time, or access to the internet will find out how to break it.

* Park where the motorcycle can be easily seen and well-lit, and near where people are working, such as shops and restaurants

* Park your motorcycle in clusters to be more obvious
* Walk out to your motorcycle every few minutes and check on it, especially during the first 10 – 15 minutes your motorcycle is parked
* Use different types of locks (barrel key, flat key, combination, etc.). The more types of locks there are the more tools the thief needs to crack them.

My back disc brakes wont lock up, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the fix?
I just picked up a trail bike of kajiji and have been fixing it up but I cannot seem to get the back disc to lock up. I have them dialed and can one finger the lever so it is as far as it will go but the bike is sluggish to stop. By the way I have hayes mx2 mechanical disc brakes. I have tried soaking the rotor in vinager and sanding the pads but no luck and the pads still have plenty of life on them. ????
I have Shimano brakes that are the same way. The rear almost never locks up. The front doesn't send the bike into any scary "nose-dive". My guess is that disc brakes are just like that. It sounds to me like you've done everything possible to make them lock. But, at least you know that they will safely stop you. That brings up another point. Besides being a mountain bike show off symbol, disc brakes performance advantage is in wet conditions. They don't "fade" as much in wet as regular rim brakes do. Also, since they are not rim brakes, there is no rim wear or the very rare overheat condition from pad friction.
