I'm looking to get a good hydraulic disc brake setup and would like some feedback.
It will be used on my Santa Cruz Superlight for mainly XC and trail centres, but I also intend to enter some races eg 10 under the ben.
It need to be a combination of lightweight, power and reliability, and so far I'm considering the following
Formula R1 or Oro
Avid Elixir CR Mag
Shimano XTR
What's the verdict? Will I notice a massive difference over the current set up with BB7, sintered pads and G3 rotors?
I don't want to be messing around with something that's a PITA to setup before/during each ride
I have noticed on my last ride that my front brake sounds like it's rubbing and I have to keep flicking the lever to reset it, which obviously slows me down and it's really annoying. Is there a perfect brake set?
