Pros

After several hundred miles on the bike, the pads are worn in nicely and provide solid, squeak-free braking regardless of road conditions. Modulation is great with powerful stops, plus there is never any hydraulic fluid heat-up to cause brake fading. ... Read More

The initial setup is easy and anybody can do it if they go on youtube and watch the setup videos. The two red knobs nicely adjust both pads, so that's why i use the bb7 brakes instead of the bb5s. Fit great and work great with my fuel 70.

Not the lightest on the market but great brakes for the price. Works great, but after that and the brake in period these things rock! These brakes rock and work great. An avid bb fan.

Bought these based on reputation and ratings. Very fast shipping and way ahead of estimated delivery. Well pleased and would recommend rock brothers.

Don't be scared. I was not let down. Terrific brakes. Good brake. Have never failed.

Cons

Save yourself money and do not waste your money on these brakes. These are blatantly counterfeit.
