Hello,
Has anyone got a BB5 or BB7 caliper they'd like to part with? I'm not in london so I'd need postage.

Many thanks!

Bump (if that's allowed, couldn't quite tell from the rules) if others haven't seen, it'd be great if someone could help out!

Cheers

I have 2 BB5s and maybe 1 BB7, is it just the 1 you're after? PM me if you like.

5's only have inboard adjustment for the pads
BB7 has inboard and outboard adjustments

both work pretty well, have both on different bikes BB5's are well adequate provide good stopping power
BB7's edge it in the stopping power if properly set up a one finger squeeze will lock up both front and rear brakes

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:

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

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
