+1 on the breakin. I followed Avid's instructions to set up my Road BB7--loosen the mounting bolts, then tighten the adjusters (red knobs both sides of caliper) until you have 1/3 spacing on the inside (fixed) and 2/3 space on the outside (moving pad). Tighten the bolts, then back off the adjusters until you have just a little 'scuffing' of pads on rotor. Then ride hard to break in. Now adjust for minimum spacing without drag. Now you should be good to go!

BTW--the oem pads had a fair amount of squeal, so I got some Kool Stops, and now they do not sound 'like a pig under a gate'!
