Set up the BB7’s properly on the new slow roadie, just back from a bedding-in spin down the big hill to Towneley Park.
I know these things are considered old tech, but I’m seriously impressed.
Good power, great feel.
If they can keep this up after a cable change and clean, I might stick a set on the MTB.
Shimano MTB hydros seem to sucker me into an eternal failure/replacement cycle I find annoying and expensive.
Mrs S has Hope Mono Minis.
They have justified their initial price many times over the last ten years – solid, rebuildable, reliable.
But the power and feel has always been a bit marginal and the equivalents cost a bloody fortune these days.
The BB7’s actually feel a bit nicer, at least when new.
Any long term issues with BB7’s?
And recommendations for best pads and cables much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
