But what is "great"? Can you lock up the back wheel on the hoods? If you need to stop quickly, do you palms hurt after from exertion? There may be great "modulation", but that doesn't sound like good breaks to me. I'm starting to think BB7s have a great rep because of MTBs they are installed on. For road... meh. Cantilever are probably much better.
