My hydraulic brakes on my backup bike were leaking, and my experience with BB7 brakes very positive thus I replaced with these. To me they work great and stop the bike just fine.They do have a little more noise than the hydraulic, but they do the job and I will never have to replace the hydraulic calipers again.

These aren't real Avid BB7's. They are knock offs, just like the cheap "Avid" rotors with date codes from 8 years ago. But, they work almost as well as the originals. the pad adjusters don't index quite as solidly as the real thing. They are noisy, but so were the real deal. for the price, I think they are good. I might buy them again if I needed cheap cable actuated disc brakes and rotors.

The product itself is sound and it is a great value to upgrade your brakes. Unfortunately, these are NOT shipped in any proper packaging so there is damage to the rotors. After installation I was unable to effectively adjust the calipers for optimal lever pull without rubbing. I took it to a shop where they trued the wheel and then adjusted the brakes. They noted that the rotors may be slightly warped and I informed them that they arrived just wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap and they speculated that may be the cause. Still trying to make it work but will likely need to purchase another set of rotors.

Not sure this isn't a knock off product. No manual or product information included that would indicate it was an original product. The coloration in the pad wheels is different than any Avid BB7's I've compared it to. Also one of my rotors is not true, now I am going to have to order another router or try to "gently" bend this one out. The brakes functioning appears to be okay, but I won't be going this route when I order another set. I will stay with a known retailer.

Product was as advertised, but honestly barely worked better than the entry level brakes that I replaced them with. Even took the brakes to a bike shop because I thought maybe I installed them incorrectly. They attempted to adjust them but they still really don’t work as I expected.
