The red knob means Avid's on board
The BB's pad adjustment knobs make quick work out of setting the perfect distance between the pads and the rotor, and adjusting for pad wear. This is something really cool that you can't do on any hydraulic brake. And best of all, it’s tool-free, so you can make adjustments on the trail where shizzle happens. (BB5 has inboard knob only)

There's Power in Simplicity

To this day, the BB7 continues to attract all types of riders who crave the simplicity and elegant function of the world’s best cable-actuated brake. It’s more powerful and is easier to set up than any mechanical disc ... ever. Details including the dual-pad adjustment knobs, easy pad replacement, precision ball bearing actuation, and infinitely variable spring tension details ... mean control like you’ve never felt before. Plus, using any of our Ball Bearing Disc BrakesTM means that you can choose one of our levers with Speed Dial® for sweet, adjustable modulation. Isn’t the freedom of choice swell? our Speed Dial® levers for sweet, adjustable modulation. You can’t get that on any hydraulic. Last but not least, this year we gave the BB7 a tasty new finish, new inboard/outboard adjustment knobs and a beefy two-piece, forged body.
