i own 2 sets of bb5`s but from what i can gather the only real difference in them is the outboard pad adjuster that makes setting them up and adjusting easier the 7`s have it the 5`s dont.

Well, the price is higher on the BB7, which leads me to believe there is some other features.

I sure like have the inboard adjuster so I can adjust it in anywhere.

I went with Avid BB5's to save money on my last Proflex buildup and regret not getting the 7's. They are way easier to adjust - especially on the trail! For an extra $10 each, it's worth it.
