I found the mech's just not enough stopping power in them, I had been using hydr discs for the past 2 years commuting so was used to been able to stop quick sharp on them, with mechs I just didnt have the confidence in them, I am sure they are cracking and that the BB7's are the best mechs but not for me.

The drops, tbh it wasnt the drops it was after a couple of off's and been knocked off all in a short period I had a massive confidence shake and commuting on drops with clipless I had lost the confidence on the bike. I went back to drops using flats and I didnt mind them, it was quite nice but it was more about confidence building.
