Disc Brakes - Avid BB7
1. Check the tightness of the six disc mounting bolts holding the brake rotor
onto the wheel. If you need to remove these bolts, be sure to us a thread-
locking compound when re-installing them.
2. Make sure the two bolts securing the caliper adaptor bracket to the fork
are tight.

1. Turn the outer pad-adjustment knob about 1/2 turn clockwise.
2. Turn the inner pad-adjustment knob clockwise until it stops,
locking the rotor. This aligns the caliper body and pads to the
rotor face.
3. Tightenthecalipermountingbolts,alternatingbetweenthetwo
as you secure them fully.
4. Threadthebrakecablethroughthecaliperasshownandsecure
it with the cable fixing bolt. Do not allow the caliper arm to move
upward while securing the bolt.
5. Set pad clearance. Loosen outer pad adjusting knob
approximately1⁄4turncounter-clockwise.Looseninnerpad
adjustingknobapproximately1⁄2turncounter-clockwise.Inner
pad (fixed pad) to rotor gap should appear larger than the outer
pad to rotor gap.
6. Squeeze lever to test caliper brake. Adjust lever modulation
setting by moving pads inward or outward from rotor by using
both pad-adjusting knobs. To maintain the 2:1 ratio, turn the fixed
pad-adjusting knob twice as many clicks as the moving pad-
adjusting knob. For example, if a looser modulation is desired,
turntheinnerpad-adjustingknobcounter-clockwise4clicksand
the outer pad adjusting knob counterclockwise only 2 clicks.
