Are mechanical discs really as bad/pointless as they've made out be?
Not in my opinion.
I had a run of really bad luck with leaky hydros - partially my own fault for bargain hunting on ebay but then i did try some brand new shimanos and they ended up leaking too - so now am sworn off hydros. I've got bb7s on my mtb (about to change to bb5 road so i can fit drops) and on the front of one of my fixed bikes and a Shimano mechanical on the front of my cargo bike and never feel like I'm left in need of stopping power.
I tried Spyres a while ago but was pretty underwhelmed, BB7 would be my goto.

I hate the size of hydraulic mechanical shifters and feel like i should either stump up the cash to go di2 disc or just embrace mechanical disc and run a more budget/mechanic friendly setup with mechanical discs. What are peoples thoughts on here?
