Along with the Manitou front fork comes the Avid BB7 front disc brakes! I've needed to have front discs brakes for a long time now. With the weight and power of my ebike, the old caliper brakes were wearing out very quickly. I had to replace the pads both front and back every six weeks with the old setup. I hope to improve my braking and improve the durability of my brakes!
The Avid BB7 is a very popular and low priced disc brake system which is available just about everywhere on the net. I bought these on eBay. The Manitou fork has disc brake mounts which allow you to attach the brake without a 90° adapter. This simplifies the attachment of the actual brakes to the fork.
More later,
Ambrose
