There's power in simplicity. For years now, ball bearing disc brakes have been a favourite among riders who want control, durability, dependability and piece-of-cake adjusting. BB's adjustment knobs make quick work out of setting the perfect distance between the pads and rotor, as well as adjusting for pad wear. This is something you just can't do with hydraulic brakes. And when you run ball bearing disc brakes, you can match them with our Speed Dial levers for sweet, adjustable modulation.
Disc brakes aren't just for mountain bikes any more. One ride with the smooth, powerful BB5 Road and you'll know the confidence and control that disc brakes bring to your road riding adventures.
