I didn't ride it for long enough to know if this was an actual benefit long term but in terms of modulation and power they felt similar to properly adjusted bb7s. I've ridden bb7s and bb5s long enough and the adjustments are easy and aren't required very often, if you have any mechanical aptitude its a cinch, easier than centering and adjusting new pads on rim calipers. There's also a host of pad compounds for the BB7s, not sure about the TRPs
