Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Brakes
I purchased 2 of these calipers, and 1 of them's pad adjustment piston seized as soon as I attempted to adjust the pad depth via the larger red knob. I attempted to move the piston via the torx screw after, and it immediately stripped. I was sent a replacement caliper, and after installation, once again, the inner piston seized on the caliper when I moved it. I ordered what I now know are a genuine set of Avid BB7 calipers elsewhere after the fact, and cataloged the differences between them. These calipers have extremely low quality knobs that are dark red, instead of the proper lighter red color. The torx bit is a total knock off, it is flower shaped in pattern and is extremely soft, hence it stripping. The threads in the calipers are poor quality. The rubber cable boots are soft and low quality, they fall off as soon as you touch them. The brake pads claim to be genuine on these, but you can see in the comparison that they are very low quality replicas as well. The same "99" serial number is stamped through the calipers, where the genuine ones have different numbers present on either side. The packaging is just bubble wrap with a made in china sticker, versus the real ones coming in an Avid box being made in Taiwan. The paint is also a bit off on the caliper body itself. Save yourself a gigantic headache and spend an extra $30 on genuine, functional set of Avid BB7 calipers. The first photo has the genuine caliper on top, the 2nd photo shows these low quality pads (and the cheap knob), 3rd photo is the genuine pads, followed by knock off packaging and the genuine packaging.Read full review

I make custom motorized bicycles that run over 50 - 60 mph and this are the only brakes that will stop them.
