<p>These are coming with my new Jamis Nova Elite.</p>
<p>Who is using these and are they comparable to full Hydraulic?</p>
<p>What weight savings can be gained?</p>

I have a 2012 Specialized Tricross Elite Disc on layaway at my LBS. The bike comes with Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes, but I've recently read a lot of horror stories about BB5's (adjustment issues, dramatically short pad life, brakes going out on steep decents etc). Should I have my LBS upgrade it to BB7 before I even bring it home, or is this an older model BB5 issue I shouldn't be worried about?
