I did try them with mini vs. Had too much shudder and only just had mudguard clearance at the front. Deore V brakes worked much better..
The mini-v does have problem with juddering, as well as high squealing, which I'm not entirely sure why that is the case, however Shimano Mini-V made a difference compare to the entry level Tektro Mini-V.
I assume you are referring to the Decathlon bike. Don't you think there's a bit of Gravel Tax in it's pricing?
Dunno, £500 is pretty good for an entry level gravel bike that doesn't required expensive componentry to maintain (10 speed stuff can be found cheap as chip, especially through Decathlon).
True Ed,
Considering getting one …. Decathlon bikes have hacking potential . Solid frames , reasonable parts, and the potential to alter or upgrade from your parts box.
The Riverside 900 is another bike with the potential to become something different
