Not with normal drop bar levers no. You need Avid BB7 road (the grey ones) for that application. The mtb BB7's(the black ones) need V brake amounts of cable pull.

Planet x said they work fine with ultegra levers as I'm ordering from them due to a refund of costs on repairing the dodgy cx, not yet ordered tho as I believe Greg more
Thanks. Is the colour of the BB5 and 7 significant then ? Is the silver "road ones" different to the black ones ?Evil Rabbit; iirc Boardman CX's have BB5 road or BB7 road on them. The grey ones.

yep, the silver road version work with short pull brake levers, so most aero road levers, STI/Ergo/Doubletap road levers and some short pull flat bar levers, the sort designed to work with canti brakes.
The black MTB version are long pull so the same sort of pull as v-brake levers
