I've got both...
Spyres are 2 minutes to set up, BB7 about 5.
Spyres are lighter but more ££.
Stopping power seems about equal.

Looking back a few pages might be worth considering that everyone seems to end up with hydro and Spyres probably have more resale value...

Thanks Andy! Again...!
Just trying to figure out all the pieces of the puzzle.
For £30/40 ish difference I'll go for the spyres. Mainly because less time to set up probably means easier and I'm a novice.
Weight is a bonus as well as in trying to keep it minimal where I can....

Yep - they are a doddle to set up, because the 'loosen bolts, clamp brake down, tighten bolts' method of centering the caliper more-or-less works.
