Can anyone comment on the reliability of saint disk brakes please? I was all set to get them and was instead recommended formula the ones by a lot of riders who ride long proper downhills out here in the alps. They said they had had lots of issues with saints, often due to the mineral oil. The formulas are now out of stock and I’ve been told about reliability problems with these brakes resulting from the dot oil degrading the seals.
Since the saints are cheaper and I love the power and feel of shimano as well as the servo wave, I’m considering them again. What will the reliability be like if I re-bleed them every 6 months or so?
Preferably looking for input from people who have regularly run these brakes on looooong steep down hills.
Thanks in advance!
