Looking at disc brakes for a new build(kaffenback 2 by the looks of it). Disc brakes seem to be more hydraulic than mechanical when I'm looking at shops unless I search road specific disc brakes and then it brings up some calipers that have different cable pull to work with sti levers.
Any reason not to just fit usual cable mtb ones? I'm going flatbar and fitting mtb gears already by the looks of it.
If I do fit mtb ones any reason to then not go hydraulic?
If I do go hydraulic what brands are best for bleeding and stuff? Are any just better to avoid at all costs? I'm thinking sram elixir 1 kit as it's cheap?
