  • I've never actually tried drop bar hydraulic brakes, just had bad experiences with bb7's, so I'm not dead against them.

    BB7 are general excellent, problem is merely setting up and cable housing.

    hydraulic are a world of their own.

  • You've probably got it there, I didn't spend much time or money on cables and gave up on them pretty quickly. It seemed I was constantly adjusting for pad wear and they never really stopped me much quicker than well-setup cantilevers.

    I reckon the big advantage with discs on cyclocross bikes comes outside of racing, I could have done with a pair when riding the south downs way: steep, loose descents with gates at the bottom are not ideal for cantilevers.
