  • Thanks Ed.

    Just replace the housing and BB7 is enough.

    Replace it with compressionless cable housing, yeah? Something like this?

    On another (shallow, lookist) note - is it possible to change the red adjuster knobs for a different colour? I can see that the BB7 SLs come with black, but I can only find replacement sets in red.

  • Seriously don't bother, it's an endless pursuit of attempting to polish the turd of brake that they are, at least with my SRAM apex levers. Even when I had them setup well it would only be days before they were noisy/juddering/ineffective again.

    Hmmm. That's depressing reading. The bike I'm looking at comes with SRAM Rival levers. Noisy/juddering/ineffective doesn't sound like the most enjoyable new-bike experience.
