Avid disks are a pain in my ass. IS this what your talking about?

I can get them adjusted just right and I love them but there's no comprimise. If they get just a hair off they totally suck. Either rubs or has no lever pressure.

yup

I found that loosining the bolts that hold the caliper on, then sqeezing the brake lever, and then moving it slightly so the pad doesn't touch works pretty well, but i messed that up with my flat at the race. oh well, the bike shop readjusted them for me.

If anyone has any questions about BFR, ask Tweek... or you could have asked him about it at the BFR booth at Interbike.
