WTD - MTB cable disc brakes
Looking to help a mate improve the weight and function of his On One 456 (you could argue the first thing to do is change the frame ;-) ). It has Hayes cable discs on normal MTB levers but these are chunky calipers. Looking for something BB7 flavour or similar. Cheap would be good, isn't it always?
WYG?
Calipers only probably fine as should be able to reuse discs.

Re: WTD - MTB cable disc brakes
Apologies for the bump, just wondering if anyone had anything suitable.
Avid or whatever the TRP is that works with V-brake levers. Nice levers would also be considered though not essential as existing ones can be re-used.
The bloody bike is sitting in my garage and gradually causing the floor to collapse under its immense weight
TIA

I’m sure I have some BB5s in a box somewhere. They are packed away at my workplace so won’t be able to check/dig ‘em out before the end of the week if that’s any use to you?

For some reason I have a pair of new Cannondale (?) mtb levers.
Welcome to them for postage.
