English BB7 and BB5 Installation & Set-Up Guide

Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle. Improper setup or

use of brakes can result in loss of control or an accident, which

could lead to a severe injury.

Avid brakes are a performance product that offer increased

stopping power over brakes that you may be used to. This

greater power requires less effort to lock-up a wheel when

braking. A wheel lock up might cause you to lose control and

possibly cause injury.

It’s your responsibility to learn and understand proper braking

techniques. Consult the owner’s manual for your bicycle and

a professional bike dealer.

Practice your riding and braking techniques on a flat and level

surface prior to aggressive riding.

The effectiveness of braking is dependent on many conditions

over which Avid has no control. These include the speed of the

bicycle, type and condition of the riding surface, braking lever

force, proper installation and maintenance of brakes, brake

lines, hydraulic fluid, levers, brake pads, condition of the bike,

weight of the rider, proper braking techniques, weather, terrain,

and a variety of other factors.

Avid brakes and levers are not intended for use on any

motorized bicycle or vehicle. Such use could result in a

serious personal injury.

ALWAYS RIDE UNDER CONTROL

Remember, it takes longer to stop in wet conditions. To reduce

the possibility of an accident and minimize trail erosion, you

should avoid locking-up your wheels.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

If you do not understand the instructions, have the installation

done by a professional bike mechanic.

Only levers designated for side-pull brakes, such as Avid’s

Speed Dial series and FR5 levers, can be used with the

mountain Ball Bearing Disc Brake. For best operation and

performance Avid highly recommends that you use an Avid

Speed Dial lever and premium quality brake cable and

housing. Failure to do so will reduce the performance of

the system.

Avid disc brakes are compatible with 44mm, 6-bolt,

International Standard hubs.

We recommend 32 or 36-spoke wheels with a 3 or 4 cross

spoke lacing pattern. Contact your specific wheel

manufacturer for more specifications.

Do not use radially spoked wheels.

Disc brakes are OIL SENSITIVE! Do not spray any solvents

or lubricants in the vicinity of the rotors or brake pads.

NEVER touch the pad surface or rotor surface with your

fingers. Doing so will significantly degrade braking

performance.

Do not touch the braking surface of any rotor with your bare

hands, because the oils from your fingers will degrade its

performance. Always wear gloves, or handle the rotor by its

spokes.

Disc brakes become very hot during use. Do not touch the

caliper or rotor immediately after use. Make sure the brake

has cooled down before making any adjustments.
