I'm having a disc brake quandry.
From my old bikes I have one set of 785 1 piston caliper brakes (the ones with the shiny resevoir from ages ago), some m5oo (I think) basically deore brakes, not the revered m6100 ones, and from a new bike sram's new mineral oil db8s.
I would like to choose the best brakes to go with out of these in a balance of stopping power, serviceability and weight. Ideally with a plan to maximise money back selling what is left.
What should I go with please?
I'm happy to mix and match calipers and levers to make shiram if that is the done thing.
