I'm not sure what the word on the road is on this, but my mountain bike has avid hydraulics and I've done nothing but use them in the three years I've had the bike: no problems, no adjustments, nothing. I guess the pads will wear sooner or later, but so far they are a breeze and nary a problem. <BR/><BR/>I've ridden with at least one person who's mechanical discs squeal and squeak. Not sure if it's his bike or inherent in the mechanical calipers. I haven't looked into whether you can use any old lever and have it work with hydraulics. Guess that could drive up the price and direct the decision.bleckbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222872724006904969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-84965095311923626712008-08-18T10:31:00.000-07:002008-08-18T10:31:00.000-07:00Well. the one on the non-drive side is right-side-...Well. the one on the non-drive side is right-side-upJohn Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-24907170899069133982008-08-18T10:30:00.000-07:002008-08-18T10:30:00.000-07:00Love it!

My guess is that it's a hard font for non-native-English speakers to read and therefore easy to flip.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-22458918053094517612008-08-16T20:52:00.000-07:002008-08-16T20:52:00.000-07:00Is it just me, or is the SOGN decal upside down?Is it just me, or is the SOGN decal upside down?Gino Zahndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275140649410336549noreply@blogger.com
