BB7 pads on BB5's?
After a search and some reading elsewhere, ive run into conflicting information about this.
Can you replace the bb5 pads with bb7 pads? If not, why not? Aside from the one adjustment knob, they are essentially the same brake aren't they?

i dont think you can. They are completely different shapes. The bb5 pads look like a circular pad, and the bb7 pad is a rectangular pad

Yeah i noticed the different shapes, but i still thought that maybe the bb7 pad would still fit on the bb5 caliper.
Would be cool if they did.
