SRAM's Avid BB7 Disc Brake - finally, a cable-actuated ball bearing disc brake that works like disc brakes should. Avid has obsessed over the design and it shows. The BB7's 160mm rotor is perfect for typical XC riders needing improved braking power. Avid’s BB7 mechanical disc braking system provides tenacious power and superb modulation, without having to upgrade your levers or bother with hydraulics. Throw in the Caliper Positioning System (CPS) which ensures perfect, effortless alignment of the caliper to the rotor and you have an affordable, high performance disc brake.
