Excellent brakes. They are a little larger than the brakes which they replaced ~ bear that in mind if you have mudguards fitted. I wasn't so sure about the barrel adjusters that came with the brakes, so I fitted some shimano ones instead.

Molto validi
Ho sostituito Shimano analoghi. Un salto di qualità incredibile. Ottima la possibilità di poter regolare separatamente l'avvicinamento delle due pastiglie al disco

Perfect upgrade from BB-5.
All you need if you are upgrading from BB-5. I put one on the front of my Cross-Rip and it fit perfectly on the old bracket. Only if you are building a bike or are going to change the diameter of your rotor do you need to buy one of the combinations from other suppliers that include the rotor and bracket. You most likely will have to replace the cable and maybe the casing. You have to put the in-line barrel adjuster in the casing, which means you will have to remove the cable, so you can cut the casing. Once you cut the crushed end off, so you can pull the cable through the casing without destroying everything in its path, it will be too short to to re-use it on your new caliper.There are plenty of reviews about the performance of this caliper, and all I want to add to all that is you can adjust this so it runs very close to the rotor with no rubbing because the pads don't flop around loosely like they do in a BB5. If you are trying to justify spending so much money on you bike, upgrade when you BB-5 pads are worn out and subtract the price of new BB-5 pads from the amount you tell your wife you are going to spend.Adding a photo here to try and show that both calipers have the same footprint and spacing between the piston and the mounting surface. Also note the larger, offset surfaces on the pads and the bigger spring on the BB-7. Notice there is no adjustment at the cable stop, but the BB-7 comes with a barrel adjuster that you will have to cut your casing to install.

wirklich gut
Gute mechanische Bremse, gut dosierbar, leicht ein bzw. nachzustellen, gute Verarbeitung u. vor allem, bremst gut. Kann ich empfehlen.Einziges Manko: lässt sich genauso beschissen zur Bremsscheibe ausrichten wie alle anderen mech. Bremsen.

Never Leaks Fluid on Pads
I converted my Giant Revive Semi-Recumbent bicycle to an E-Bike. I also needed to switch from under frame mounted rim brakes. It required a custom designed rear caliper mount but that was managed. I fitted another to the front wheel as well. Now I have excellent disk brakes and never need to wory about them getting oil on the pads or leaking.

Ottimi freni meccanici
Ritengo i BB7 i migliori freni meccanici in assoluto: li ho già montati su un'altra bicicletta e mi ci trovo benissimo. Leggermente più larghi rispetto ad altri freni, dispongono di due manopole che permettono di regolare di fino la distanza delle pastiglie dal disco senza il bisogno di chiavi.La confezione contiene solo il freno e le viti per montarlo, ATTENZIONE che NON è compreso l'adattatore che si vede in foto. Il montaggio è molto semplice se si ha un minimo di conoscenza e si possiede una brugola da 5.Ho dato 4 stelle per due motivi: le viti sono a mio avviso troppo lunghe, anche se vengono fornite con degli spessori, tanto che al posteriore ho dovuto sostituirle con un paio di più corte; inoltre non è presente il classico regolatore di tensione del cavo: è vero che sono presenti le due manopole ma comunque a differenza della MTB dove è possibile tensionarlo anche lato leva, su una gravel possiamo lavorare solo sul freno.Nel complesso comunque sono molto soddisfatto e non posso che consigliarli. Attenzione a comprare il modello giusto: la versione road va montata sulle bici con le leve classiche da strada o gravel, mentre la versione MTN va montata sulle MTB con flat bar.
