Genuine question having never used hybrid brakes. Are they really that low maintenance? I guess there's less hydraulic stuff to go wrong and cables are a breeze to mess about with in comparison. It's all a dark art to me.
My experience is great - had a hydro MTB for 8 years and never did a thing. Have three other bikes for over a year as well and also not done anything and performance is still fab, my carpal tunnel hands are especially happy with hydro brakes.
