Product Information
Full details
The BBB Cycling DiscStop BBS-371 brake pads are designed for mountain bikers and competitive cross-country riders who use Magura MT5, MT7, or MT Trail systems. These pads offer superior stopping power and a quiet, responsive feel thanks to a high-performance organic compound, though they perform best in dry conditions rather than extreme, muddy environments.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with Magura MT7?
Yes, the BBS-371 is specifically compatible with Magura MT7 and MT5 brake systems.
Do I need to sand these pads before using them?
No, these pads are pre-sanded and ready for immediate use.
Are these pads suitable for E-bikes?
While these are standard organic pads, we recommend checking the specific BBB Cycling E-bike range (such as the BBS-371E) if you have a heavy E-MTB.
How many pads are included in the package?
Each pack contains 2 pieces, sufficient for one brake caliper.
Can I use these in the rain?
They perform best in dry conditions. Organic pads may wear significantly faster in wet and muddy environments.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy or soft
This is often a sign of air in the hydraulic lines. Check the brake fluid levels and perform a bleed of the Magura system.
Brakes are squealing
While organic pads are generally quiet, noise can indicate contamination. Clean the rotor thoroughly and check that the pads are seated correctly.
Pads rubbing against the rotor
Ensure the caliper is correctly aligned. You may need to loosen the mounting bolts, squeeze the brake lever, and retighten to center the caliper over the disc.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the BBS-371 is straightforward thanks to the sloping bottom design which helps guide the pad into the Magura caliper body. Ensure the caliper is clean of debris before inserting the new pads. Included in the package are necessary fastening bolts for a secure fit. Compatibility is strictly limited to Magura MT5, MT7, and MT Trail (front) disc brake calipers. To maintain performance, regularly inspect the pad thickness; once the friction material wears below 1mm, it is time for a replacement. Always clean your brake rotors with isopropyl alcohol when swapping to new pads to ensure no contamination from old brake material affects the new surface.
