Avid BB7 cable disc brakes for a mountain bike! I bought some recently, very impressive stoppers, almost as good as hydraulics.

Looks like a standard avid rotor to me..
Didn't fancy some hydros? You can get last years Deores dead cheap now, and they're superb. Got them on my 29er XC bike.

I'm assuming cable discs have moved on then? I'd had sooner had some good v-brakes than cables discs the last time I tried a bike with them. They were not cheap cable disc neither.

Ooh, look at me doing the rolly rolly eyes I'm such a big boy.
Grow up.
Just wait till you post something that either he doesn't like or disagrees with the description of. Then you'll see him at his full whiney best

Nice.
13.5 TB?!?!
Must be a mistake
The question is, how do you backup 13TB of data? That's going to need 26TB minimum. I put a 40TB iSCSI NAS in at work yesterday and I wouldn't want to have to pay for one of those just to backup my data!

BB7's (and BB5's) have been around years and are seriously good, better than most of the cheaper hydraulic brakes and definitely v brakes! Had a set myself and they were great brakes!

Like this?
Given the trouble I've had with a raft of Drobos at work I'd sooner trust 13TB of USB memory sticks.
Anyway it was a rhetorical question. Most people don't backup, let alone backup 13TB of data.

Well you posed a question, i gave you an answer
Besides, it doesn't need to be a Drobo, it can be any 5 bay NAS drive running RAID? Like the Synology 713 with a 513 expansion unit?
Thanks
I have 4 x 4TB External HDD's too
...And the rest. Backups are a must, unless you want it to end in tears.
(you can see a few on the left hand side in the open case pic)

Technically it was rhetorical. Also one NAS isn't enough. Even 4 x 4 (16TB before loses due to RAID) is nit going to keep many copies of 13TB. That's before you address the issue of offsite backups.
Thankfully most people don't have 13TB of data to back up. Unfortunately a lot of people don't even backup the little data they do have.
