Thanks for the conflicting advice on bb vs shim ;D
I know they aren’t as good as hydro, but it’s for the front of a fixed so won’t really be doing much heavy lifting on a regular basis. I want to be able to swap bars levers around without the faff of fluid.
I’ll use the ones with the newest pads in then. The BB7 is the winner, for now.
