What's the reasoning behind hydros for this?
I've stayed with mechanical discs because I'd rather not have to learn to service hydros

No big reason other than a) novelty b) reliability and a certain amount of set and forget and c) they're in stock and surprisingly are a comparable price to BB7 or TRPs. I think if I was building this up more as a travel/rinko style bike I'd go with mechanical to avoid the undue hassle.

Yeah, I still find it hard to believe that you can get a full hydro setup for less than the mechanical calipers.
But then again I know and appreciate BB7s so I just use those.
