You didn't honestly expect me to leave that stick comment alone did you?
Not really.. sadly that's a phrase I use often and in this case it had an alternate meaning. But hey, a little humor on the forums is always a good thing. Now, back to the BB7's. My only complaint about them is the stock rotor. It's just plain ugly and I found it howls like mad. I quickly replaced mine with a set of wavy rotors (same ones on the Juicy 7). I noticed you switched yours out with the Mini Gothic.
