I was being honest about the BB7's. Raiyn's pimpage and web links were very persuasive. I got my LBS to price-match as well, so I got them sooner. Used them today for the first time on the trail and they stopped me with half the effort and twice the modulation as my caliper brakes. They're not even fully broken in yet. LBS told me they'll come into their own on the third ride or so.
