Hi all, I've just got back to cycling after a couple of months off and I'm really finding my brakes inadequate. They are Tektro Aquila mechanical disk brakes, I've tried adjusting them but if I get them to be responsive they rub like crazy. Is it worth persevering with them would getting Avid bb7s offer a better solution or would I be wasting money?

You may save yourself a bit of hassle by replacing your existing setup. Perhaps its just worn out.
If you don't mind paying out around £50 I would think that would be a good investment and give you peace of mind.
I admit to not knowing a lot about disc brakes and someone else with more knowledge might have another suggestion.

Any one got experience of either of these setups? Even when new my current setup wasn't great. Don't want to spend money if I don't have to :confused:
