Hydraulics are very nice. In that, they're self-adjusting unlike mechanical. They do offer shorter stopping distances as well. The one thing I do caution people who do get them and set them is it's about balance. You want to shorten the stopping distance as much as possible while avoiding wheel lock. Locked wheels mean skids. As a kid coaster brake skids were fun at 10-15 mph. At 35+ mph a skid can mean a trip to the hospital.Well you better invest in another set of brake rotors, cause them shimano brake shoes look aggressive. Also dont they make some tooling for filling & bleeding that type of hydrualic brake caliper? Too me at $50 for the brake upgrade was a no brainer & great one at that. Nice setup!!! But there is 1 thing wrong!!! Wheres our pics?
