The Avid BB7 brakes are not up to scratch compared with even my dodgy Elixir R's. It could be the pads, but there's plenty of meat there. The rear especially seems to grab more as it warms up which means letting off the lever slowly to keep nice constant braking.
Might nick the Shimano cheapies off the Stumpy and give them another go.
One bonus of cable brakes it's they're easy to get the cable length right. No buggering about with hose cutters, roses and re-bleeding.
