A friend has just bought a bike for a touring adventure. It's well spec'd generally but has avid hydro discs. Due to the nature of the trip I suggested cable discs might be more reliable/easier to maintain.
Avid BB5 and BB7 are pretty bomb proof I think - although the disk rub did my head in on an old bike.
I've just put a set of TRP Spyre through a salty winter, thus far have been fine (they replaced a Hope VTWIN - far happier with the TRP, and more powerful too...)

Is this good advise?
And which cable discs do we reckon?
