I had one on the front before I changed to my hope mini. I kind of regret it to be honest, the bb5 bites and holds much better than my hope but I find the bb5 didn't have the same amount of modulation as I have with my hope. BB5s are good and worth buying (don't know much about the 08 redesigned BB5s though), no need to worry about bleeding it, just a simple cable brake.
