Next step will be to go to 203mm discs, TRP do one with an aluminium centre so I'll try that. I have Icetech discs on my MTB, they work good, but the swept area is too small for the M525/TRP pads.
meh, can't be bothered as the bb7's just plain work. I hardly ever have to touch the adjustment wheels for the pads, even in touring in mountainous terrain. I think I did a slight slight front adjustment once during a 3000km mountainy trip, so it just aint an issue, certainly not enough to buy new stuff.
I dont argue that the trp are well designed, its just for me the old bb7's do their job for me with 160mm rotors on a fully loaded bike in mountains with hard stops.
