That London rd has got me thinking , ready to hit the button my only concern is the rims and the bb7 mech discs , I was thinking wait for hydraulics on the c2w in work next year but are they worth the extra , any real world reviews

I have hydraulic Avid Juicy's on my MTB and cable actuated BB7s on my 'gravel' bike. The BB7s may lack the out and out stopping power of hydraulics but they're more than sufficient for road/trail use. The BB7s are easier to adjust, effective, reliable and a delight to use - especially on a fast downhill towards a T junction when you can hear your mates' rim brakes howling as they desperately try to stop!
