Thinking of building my new Wanga frame with drop bars , maybe midge bars , road levers and bb7`s, have heard different stories as to whether ill get enough cable pull ?
leaving it Single speed so no need for shifters etc
Thoughts please 🙂
edit : any other brand of caliper like tektro worth looking at ?

you'll need to get bb7 road cailpers and they should be ok with decent cables

TRP Spyres, the best cable operated disc brake by a margin IMHO

Assuming your BB7S ARE mtb ones, use these levers, they pull the same amount of cable as MTB ones and all will be fine.
