Review on 🚴 BlueSunshine MTB BB7 Mechanical Disc Brake Set with 160mm Rotors, Bolts, and Cable - Front and Rear for Increased Performance by Jeff Richardson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

These are NOT brakes Avid BB7

I bought these without looking carefully. I thought Avid was discontinuing BB7 and it was time to replace the kit I beat to death. I like Avid BB7. With these, I opened the box, saw that they were inferior fakes, took a roll of tape and resealed the box. I'm giving them three stars simply because I'm sure they work well for what they are: a cheap brake that's good for stopping a bike that's just going slow on the pavement. Broken 160mm disc brakes on your air-tired beach cruiser? Buy these brakes. Old Huffy needs an update? give them a chance Are kids driving local dirt roads and their brake caliper has dismantled itself? This gets her doing all the cute jumps again. You need a paperweight and are brakes from other well-known brands too light? This is your ticket. They seem to work fine although I'll never know because I couldn't install them on my bike. But your bike may be cheap enough to be just what you need. They just don't suit me. If you want an Avid BB7, keep looking and plan on paying at least three times what they do.
