I have a set of BB5's I don't need.
What you putting them on? BB7's are massively underrated. BB5's are powerful but can be a pain to adjust.

Im looking to replace some BB5s - I've got BB7s on one bike and like them...saw some BB5s cheap for another build...but the pads don't sit straight and the lack of adjustment options on the callipers makes them frankly a bit shit imo

BB5's are a bit more needy than BB7's. When set up right, they're great, but do need attention. Go with the 7's. I prefer them to most mechanicals.

I've some cheapo Clark's you can have for postage if they might be any use, taken off my grandson's MTB before it got launched to the recyclers as I thought they might do someone a turn. Based N.herts so unless you're passing postage probs only option.
message me if you want some photos

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
