MTB question: My trek roscoe 8 2018 has the stock brakes on it (Shimano M315 hydraulic disc,2 pot, £40 a set online https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-m315-front-and-rear-disc-brake-set-132886.html?source=PHG), and a guy in the uni club has offered me a brand new pair of Sram Guide T brakes for £70, and they are currently £72 each on CRC (https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/sram-guide-t-disc-brakes/rp-prod180856?fbclid=IwAR3xykedjG5EBKSZvK1z9ZJOaHQlhpHuT-LUWJpmjes_Y1rcligTMIELa3E). There is only 1 review I can find and people I've asked don't know much about the guide Ts, other than this is cheap for a pair of 4 pot brakes. Worthwhile upgrade?
the SRAMs will give you more modulation but not too much extra overall power up to you if that is worth the cash
Worthwhile upgrade?
Are you finding your current brakes deficient in some way?
