I’ve only reproduced it here to make sure it’s available for our readers. And once you’ve done it a couple of times, it takes all of 5 minutes.įull credit for this method goes to Tim Grahl at Blue Collar Mountain Biking. I’ve found it to be the most consistent way to minimize lever throw and ensure full engagement when using BB5 road calipers and road levers. It perfectly aligns and centers the caliper body and brake pads over the rotor. This method is more precise than the method outlined in the Avid BB5 Instruction Manual. Tighten the pad adjustment knob until the pad just barely touches the rotor, then back off one click to eliminate pad/rotor contact.
Loosen the pad adjustment knob and remove the business card.Ħ. With the business card still in place, re-tighten both CPS bolts to lock the caliper in place.ĥ.
This aligns and centers the caliper over the rotor while leaving a business-card-sized gap on the fixed side.Ĥ. A cable/housing swap and good cleaning of the rotors with alcohol would probably be a good idea, and Avid levers if you're not already running them. You can keep your rotors though, last I checked they were the same between BB5 and BB7. Slide a business card between the outboard, fixed brake pad and the rotor (be sure the biz card is between the outboard fixed pad and the rotor, not the inboard adjustable pad and the rotor), then tighten the pad adjustment knob until the rotor and business card are snugly clamped between the brake pads (you should not be able to pull out the business card). Easier adjustment and better performance. Loosen the inboard pad adjustment knob using a Torx T-25 driver.ģ. Loosen the (2) black CPS mounting bolts with a 5mm hex wrench to a point where the caliper body can move freely.Ģ. Let’s start with the assumption that the rotor, caliper, and cable are properly installed on the bike, and that the rotor is true.ġ.
Pro E-Bike pads are specifically tuned for the unique needs of pedal-assist E-bikes.You’ll need a 5mm hex wrench and a Torx T-25 driver. Elite pads offer heat dissipation technology for the most demanding riders, while Pro and Pro Extreme pads feature added benefits including lighter weight or increased stopping power for those looking for premium performance. Sport pads are available either with an all-purpose semi-metallic compound or low-noise organic compound. Pads are available for a wide variety of the most popular disc brake systems from SRAM ®, Avid ®, Shimano ®, Formula ®, Hope ®, Hayes ®, Magura ®, Promax ®, Tektro ®, TRP ®, and RIDEREVER ®. Designed to deliver long-lasting stopping power and modulation under a variety of conditions, Jagwire offers six different pad types and over 25 shapes to give riders the best combination of materials and compounds for their ride. Avid BB5 Road Front / Rear Cable Disc Brake - Platinum - G2CS 6 Bolt - 160 mm. Different riding styles and conditions demand different brake pads.
