Im looking to replace some BB5s - I've got BB7s on one bike and like them...saw some BB5s cheap for another build...but the pads don't sit straight and the lack of adjustment options on the callipers makes them frankly a bit shit imo
BB5's are a bit more needy than BB7's. When set up right, they're great, but do need attention. Go with the 7's. I prefer them to most mechanicals.
