I've noticed a couple of postings about the front and rear brakes on the Wisper 905SE:

I too have found the brake cables spongy, and needing regular adjustment. How easy is it to replace the cables? (I had a look this morning and the brake, gear and electric cables all seem to be bound together in cable tidies).
Also, whats the advantage of the Avid BB07 Disk Brake? It costs £45 @
Wiggle, so its not an insignificant purchase.
My front disk brake has developed a bit of a judder when braking hard, and I've no expereience with disk brakes - I've tightened up the control cable, which hasn't helped. Theres a red plastic wheel beside the brake assembly, but I can't figure out what it does (and therefore how to adjust it).
Has anyone else had problems with the rear brakes? Mine seem fine as long as I keep tightening up the control cable regularly.
Any clues?
