• Has anyone tried the cheaper Shimano road discs (the RS505) and can comment on whether they are worth it? Saw a review saying shifting suffered, so I am now torn between (1) TRP hy-rd (so I can use existing 105 shifters); (2) the ST505s and see how the braking is; or (3) the ST685s?

    This will be for an everyday / winter / allroad type bike, so I am torn between durability / cost / function. Difficult

  • I liked the RS505 because the hood is thinner than the RS685, which is uncomfortably thick.

    Review saying the opposite, pop into a bike shop and take them out for a test ride, they brakes as good as the RS785.
