Building a do it all/gravel bike so going straights to drops. Hydraulic STI shifters were super expensive so went cable operated. Calipers fitted easy and work and feel free to spend the rest of your life discussing the performance difference between hydraulics and cable operated. They stop me so that is what counts for me. Calipers arrived well packed and quickly.
First Class Braking System that look good and perform.
I have completely rebuilt an old Raleigh Tiger Shark given to me by my eldest son some years ago. After re spraying the frame I decided to upgrade the forks to a really good quality set. The only braking system that would go well with the forks was this Shimano unit. It looks good and is a really efficient braking system. I'm so glad I came across these whilst researching products for the upgrade.
