Avid BB7s on Radwagon

[autzenpowers]

Has anyone successfully replaced the Radwagon's stock Tektro Novela brakes with Avid BB7? I already have some BB7s, but I'm not sure what brackets fit. On the rear, the Tektro uses a 180 Front/160 Rear bracket with 180 rotor. However, neither Avid's 20 mm (rear 160) nor 40 mm (rear 180) brackets look like they will fit a 180 rotor correctly. Thanks for any assistance!

Try it and see, Should be industry standard. I just put shimano hydraulic on the Rover front, it was plug and play, including my previously installed 203mm rotor.

I put BB7's on the rear, will eventually replace the front too when I wear out all the pads I got for the tektros.

I rebuild my rear wheel with a q128c geared hub motor (and the front with a q100h) for 2wd, and changed the drivetrain to a 1x10 with a shimano Zee+ (the clutch ROCKS), and the front is a 54t NW chainring. In the process I went with a 203mm rotor on the rear (my bike does 27+ mph comfortably now, and has 2 dolphin batteries for ~50mi range).

On mine I had to mess with the way the washers were stacked to the bracket with 60mm IS adapter. They work perfectly now that I got it to sit right.

I have the TRP Spyke caliper on the back of one of my ebikes, and can't recommend it strongly enough. Very strong.
