^^ BB7s can be a little fussy to set up. A variety of things, such as lever type ( Obviously not much you can change with STIs ) & cable housing can make a difference. I read a tip somewhere on grinding the cable outers nice & flat after cutting them. Unfortunately I did this when I first fitted them, so can't comment on any improvement.
Could also be a case of pads bedding in & ^ what Mr Tester said.
