that shimmy was not for real men in trials...
Maggy took the beating after several adapter collapsed.
then please a good adapter is all I need, how does this avid looks like?

bbdb is an older version Avid BB7 that they don't make anymore. They changed the design in like 2008. So you'll have a hard time finding that brake.

As far as adapters, I really don't know anything about them but I'd trust anything made by Hope. If you break a Hope, maybe there is something else going on beyond just simple equipment failure.

There used to be tons of $29 avid bbdb calipers on ebay !!

This is all I found but not a bad price.

unfortunately, the place where I am at does not like ebay... instead they have their own platform of ebay-like. Anyway, i ordered the Hope caliper adapter since i couldn't find any other solid made adapters.

Hopes are the strongest, but you might consider going down a size in rotor so you won't have to use a +40 adapter.

I felt secured by the power of 203 rotors specially that my calipers were only 2 pots. I am out of budget when talking about quads calipers....

HOPE ain't gives me hope.... why???? I just did pedal kick down....

Broooo !!!

fuuuuuu...

Bringing us back to 2004 with snapped rear disc tabs yikes

 

[Mark Philip Madera]

my brain stopped working for the moment..... what else can I do?

Got this from 2nd hand shop, looks un-beaten with free fancy bolts for half the price of my torn up hope, indeed beefy, bit heavier...

And the setup is darn straight, no extra washers in-between, perfect clearance on rotor and caliper.
Hope this will get back my confidence in learning...
