yeah....at the time i got that bike, the bb7's were the best option. never loved them (i'm used to hydraulic on the MTB). the cx77's were on the verge of being released, and i wanted them but needed
something and couldn't wait.
these calipers are basically the XT MTB calipers. the revision was a more direct hose routing. should be good. i think i'll be able to run 140s front and rear due to the better performance of the hydraulics, but we'll see; maybe i'll still need/want 160/140.
