After some new brakes.

Been reading some reviews and wondering which are better. Could I have any thoughts please?

Also, anyone know what kind of price I shouyld be looking to pay for the SLXs in pretty good nic?

Cheers
Greg

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.
