Despite being a master of SCIENCE (jokes, architecture/architectural design) disc brakes remain difficult novelty tech.
I am running a spyre road on my fixed with normal brake lever (i.e. not road) and that seems the best I got working disc brakes until now.
Tried hydraulic but after several explosions of brake fluid while trying to bleed in the kitchen I gave up on that.So, long story short, yes, it was certainly down to user error. Bb7s do attract either love or hate though. I am in the second camp. And yes, I understand the aesthetic reasons to go for bb7s. At least they taught me that in that "science" degree..;)

That sucks, but are you sure the bb7s were road specific? Slow-but-not-stop sounds kinda like what you get when you mess up pull ratios (short levers, long calipers). I hope the bb7 work because they were cheap and I like their clunky look. Will report soon I guess.
