Is 3 years a good lifetime for a caliper? My old 105 brake that I had on my sweet fixeh lasted ~7 years and never died, it's just sitting in my parts bin. Am I being unrealistic expecting the same durability from a disc brake?
You do know you're buying quite a basic version right?
I'll say go XT/XTR if you want longevity or Hope RX4.
