Brakes - Avid BB7

I upgraded the brakes after the rear failed on my last ride.

Feels like a step back going from old Hydaulic brakes (9 years old) to new Mechanical brakes.  But I feel it was easier and definitely cheaper way to go.  I dont know enough about hydraulic brakes to maintain them, maybe in the future i can go back to them.

Installing the calipers, levers, and setting up cables and housings was very easy.
