Down the rabbit hole I've been. Brakes. 2 pot vs 4 pot. FIGHT.
Were 4 pots created by big bike to make me doubt if 2 pot can even be called brakes? Then we have Deore, SLX, XT, XTR, what is Saint, drip it with Hope or something more exotic. SRAM just fugly, saved time not looking there.
In the end, I should have sought sponsorship from r2-bike, who are selling XT parts for the same as SLX. Chose 2 pots, who knows if this will even stop.
For gearing, settled on SLX where XT is double the price.
