it depends on what you like the feel of, bb7's feel a bit like vee's, i personally dont liek the juttery sort of feeling, i like hopes because they are smooth and more controlling and once youve set it up you wont need touch it for agggggggggggggggggggggggggggges, the people that say theyre crap just cant set them up, and the levers are more comfotable and smoother feeling and the brake will increase the pimp factor on your bike and dont look like plastic.. lol you definatly wont regret getting one
