New CX bike came with AVID BB5 disc brakes and 160mm rotor front and 140mm rear.
Apparently the BB7 is a much better brake so I'm thinking of buying a pair of these and selling the BB5s unused on Ebay. With CRC selling BB7s for £55 the change will hardly cost me much at all.
The BB7s come with a 160mm rotor. Presumably the BB5s that are fitted to the bike are attached with special mounting brackets, which accommodate the two disc sizes? Presumably therefore it will be a simple matter of unbolt - bolt on the new calipers?
Thanks!
