Tektro mechanical disc brakes (verses) Avid Juicy 3, I have Youtube video's on both, Tektro's worked as good if not better, and less hassel for sure. Have had BB5's before and worked fine, but never had BB7's...

Found this old link on BF: http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-143907.html Did not read it though.

Might not match my post, but could help you on your decision. Richard : )
