I would like to know if this is compatible. However, if you have the cash consider spending an extra $50 at Pricepoint to get a BB-7 to just replace it. GX-2s are difficult to setup, have poor cable alignment (which produces extra cable friction) and weak return springs. |
I agree with willtsmith. Save your money and buy a set of Avid mechs. I used to have the GX-2 brakes and i had troubles with them all the time. Constantly changing the pads, and adjusting the calipers. Even doing that, i still couldn't get them to work properly.
In the end i threw on some BB7's with Avid levers and haven't had any complaints. |
thanks for the advice.. i will check with my local bike shop and see if they carry any bb7's. thanks guys
