In al honesty The BB7 will be my next brake, loads more people use them, as they feel nicer, and they also much better to set up. My Hope felxed like a bitch, and also some guy down from uni was out riding, one second he hope was alright, then his caliper started to flex, along with his lever. Not sure how mine popped, but it wasn't as nice feeling as my Julie. But Avidd BB7 will be my next buy.
