Why in the world would you be recentering your BB7s after the initial setting? Neither the caliper nor the rotor should be moving. You do need to adjust the inner pad on occasion to reduce the clearance to the rotor as it wears, and same for the outer pad, but that's it, at least in my ~25,000 mile experience with BB7s.
And with BB7s, you can use the pad adjustment knobs to lock the caliper onto the rotor. No need to squeeze the lever.
