I'm looking to replace the brakes on my Zesty, which currently runs with Formula The Ones, which i like, except they are a bit fragile, squeal like pigs in the wet and have ridiculously expensive spares (small bolt falls out of lever pivot, have to buy complete lever kit for £40 etc).

So, i was thinking about some Saint M820s. Anyone run these on their AM/Enduro bike? I'm pretty light on brakes and have had no issues with the current Formulas once i moved up to 203mm dia, even after throwing myself off the odd Alp or two.

Also, does anyone mix and match different brake types front to rear? Even say XT M785s on the back, with the twin pot saints on the front?
