If flat bars why not hydro?
I’ve not found I needed more power than BB7s offer, they aren’t as light to pull as hydros but also they are repairable trailside.
I’m not scared of hydraulic brakes but for all the “fit and forget, they never go wrong” chat there is, I’ve seen enough go wrong to put me off.
Do you have any recommendations for brake pads for the BB7s? I've run the regular (sintered?) Avid pads for a long time, but keen to try something with a bit more bite and maybe a 180mm rotor up front.
