Ah, didn't know 3 wasn't hydraulic. Arkose 2 is good, handled basically anything I've thrown at it.
You might want to factor in that the bars are pretty rubbish, especially for a bar end, I found they slope right to the end meaning the bar end feels miles away when you're on the hoods. Swapped the bars out for something with a finish horizontal to the floor and they're actually not too bad.
Definitely worth the improvement in braking, presumably they'd never get integrated hydraulic shifters at that price.

Jus havin a look at the Arkose 2 now actually.
Very decent. Weirdly 2, 4 and 5 are hydraulic and 3 is mechanical.
2 is atually lookin real decent. Not keen on bar end shifter mind or the shit as colour.
