    servo wave feels crap in my opinion.

    I don't really notice servowave in action at all, my only real complaint with shimano brakes is that they're covered in ineffectual gimmicks, but they work very well. I'd go with SLX myself.

    I just ordered some SLX'x from CRC. £130 for both ends, bit of a bargain I'd say.

    Just got a new set of SLXs. After a bleed, they're very nice indeed.

    They also use mineral oil, which is superior and more eco-friendly than DOT fluids.
