MoreTrails Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I have the option to buy a second hand set of Avid BB5's (the cable operated disc brake) aimed at being used on a low maintenance bike. on CRC they are around R500 new.... SO, what you hubbers rate as being a decent price for a second hand pair in good nick (i know there history well...) Shot
droo Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 WTF you building this time? And where are you going to keep it?
MoreTrails Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 He hehe, Single speed is becoming super low tech with cable brakes and hopefully a paint job... And the Formula's are ging towards a nice shiny blue On One 456 3 speed monster - in time of course, in time. Bike for Junior to ride with that big Manitou fork so he doesn't pop my fox
droo Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Yeah, popping your fox sounds... well... uncomfortable. I'd say buy them, they take a bit of tweaking every now and then, but they work. If you can find BB7s they have 2 adjuster knobs, so less of a mission.
MoreTrails Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 unfortunately they coming off Dave the Waves bike, so not much choice on what model they are. But hey, looking forward to getting my hands on them. And then you will be getting a set of brake levers finally...
droo Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Cool... meaning I'll just need a spring tensioner and a decent crankset (FFS!!) and I'll have a SS. And you won't have an excuse not to ride yours...
MoreTrails Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Jaja, I know i am going to have my ass handed to me on a ss by you! Maybe I will get fit enough to do an Argus on one... Thats going to hurt
