EDIT: BB7's are actually quite nice...
Like the man says...BB7's are sweet! I have a set I've been running for 1-1/2 years, and a buddy has a set that's 3 years old; both still work perfectly. So the "[B]cheap bottom line disc[B]" description is way off. FYI, BB7's are the
top of the line when it comes to mechanical discs.
You want cheap bottom line discs, get a set of Promax's off a Wal-Mart bike.
Now, as to your original question....
Get the SD's, or like someone else said, XTR's used somewhere (good luck).
