I've tried all types of brakes for polo, hydraulic FBO so far performs best. One finger braking, and the modulation is amazing compared to V's. brake never grabs unexpectedly, it just works. I carry an old avid BB7 attached to an old lever just in case it gets fcked but so far it's awesome. The holy grail for me would be a MAX setup through the top cap, just not practical tho.
Why isn't it practical? I'm going to do it with hydro disk as soon as i can get mike to help me bleed them, surely you want that hose as safe as possible. But deffo carry spare brake setup, my hose kinked and started pissing dot fluid.
I just bought the hollow star nut/bolt on CRC for 3.99. Dead easy.
Also going to look into braided hosing.
