BB7 Installation
I installed my BB7s this week. (Yahoo! ) They work great and the super easy adjustment certainly lives up to the reviews. This was a huge improvement and well worth the trouble of pulling battery boxes, sideloaders, torque arms, and wheels. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the rear torque arm and the necklace of assorted washers, spacers, and nuts on the phase wires slipped through the rotor without needing to unsolder the connectors.
But, as per normal, the Mundo threw in a twist - the BB7 185mm does not install properly in the rear using the special Yuba adapter (which is for 180mm rotors) that accommodates the Mundo's non-standard caliper mounting tabs. So, after a bit of monkeying around and checking to try to avoid having Bad Things happen, I got them installed using the stock Avid caliper adapter and a shim. Here's a link to a post about the procedure: Yuba Mundo BB7 Disc Brake Installation. Considering the odd Mundo mounting tabs, this frankly doesn't seem like it should have worked, but....
