    These – http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17722

    I'm a fan of BB7s, but the fact that both pads move on these, makes them look even better.

    Anyone got any experience of them?

    I've got them on an On One Inbred that I use for general riding / off road touring.

    Very impressed with them. As you say, both pads move (as with hydraulic discs) so the disc doesn't bend as it has to with normal cable set ups. It's a semi- floating caliper design very much like some motorcycle set ups from the 80's.

    I've never tried BB7s but these are certainly the most powerful cable discs I've used … they almost feel like they're not a cable disc. Very easy to set up too.

    If I was in the market I'd certainly buy them again.
