Best cable operated disc brakes?

[mattbrown]

what are the best ones out there?

I speak for most here, Avid BB7's.

But im interested as to what else would come close to them?

The BB 7s will take some beating

 

[jamabikes]

for power hayes hfx 4's are the best i've found. bb7's are just a nadge less powerful but much more smooth and adjustable.

my only experience is BB7s - but very happy with them

Like orange71 I've only used BB7s and I'm very happy with them.
I use SD7 levers with them and 160mm rotors front and rear. Might try a 180mm rotor on the front just to see what difference it makes :shock:

 

[cchris2lou]

bb7 here too .

I use them with BOX levers , and theyare great .

I had some bb5 and they were not very good compared to the bb7 .

the bb7 are better than the juicy 3 .

But why would you want cables when hydraulics are so much better?
