I enjoyed the discussion about mechanical cable discs. I have had a bike with hydraulic brakes on - Shimano 105. To be honest they were ok - but not much more than that. I really couldn't see that much difference on road (where I do most of my riding) between them and a well set up pair of 105 side pulls. I don't really do much in the way of hard riding because I like to stop and take photos. The Hydraulics were superior though to my old Weinemann 730s!
Does the hive mind have any thoughts on the Spa cycles Elan model with cable discs for light touring/towpath riding?
