I got the BB5 Road in yesterday, I didn't get a chance to put it on last night. But, I can tell you that I am now quite certain the brakes on the bike are MTB. The pull on the arms are completely different, At the point in travel on the MTB caliper, the Road is fully engaged on the rotor. I'm glad there is a rotor included, as there is a tiny bump in my existing rotor... Even so, that bump isn't the issue. Cable pull was. I still don't fully understand how the front is so nice, and the rear worked, but doesn't now. It looks like it will be a nice weekend, so I hope to get some trail time on the bike.


The ad showed it in black. But really doesn't matter to me... As long as it works.
