    BB7’s.
    They work betterer than the BB5s and are easier to set up with adjustable pads on both sides.

    Cane Creek have a much nicer shaped lever than the Tektro.

    I have both BB5s and 7s, 7 a little nicer but no biggie.

    I don’t know those levers but Shimano have always been excellent IME.
