Thx! Discs are great, even standard pads lasted all the way to Bangkok and then the front still had about 1000 km more in them. BB7's are super easy to setup, brake well and they're so universally known that every mechanic knows how they work and can service them if needed. Almost every shop carries Avid pads in stock.
Moreover it's not much trouble to carry spare pads, just maybe a little hard to keep them clean outside the (too big for travel) original packaging. I think maybe the only countries I passed where you won't find them are Iran (trade embargo) and Laos (communism). Nothing but praise for these cabled discs from me!
