Any thoughts on BB7’s vs high end hydraulic disc brakes? Do you find that you can get the same performance out of BB7’s using the aluminum tubing and compressionless housing?
I’ll try to write more about this in blog because I’m asked about this often.
I have found my BB7 brakes to be more powerful, adjustable and reliable than the hydro brakes I have tried. Also it makes it simple to switch from regular brake levers to Dual Control levers.
The pads also sit further away from the rotor and can be adjusted by hand on the trail if needed.
