Cheap as chips please, for commuter / winter bike. Need to be disc, hydraulic by choice but feel free to try and talk me into cable.

Amazon have Shimano BR-M395 for £50, anything better than that? Would prefer to go new, I'm always a bit paranoid about second hand brakes.

Excellent brakes and for £50 an end its hard to go wrong

I did see those... But worth twice as much as the 395s (I don't need rotors, really) for a bike that'll never really see any hills?

£50 for two brakes?

That is a bargain!

Yeah just buy them. I can't see how you could get hydro disc brakes cheaper than that

Yep... And I can actually buy them straight from Woolly Hat Shop, thus not giving Amazon any money. Even better!

Just received a pair of Shimano M596 from Chain Reaction - a few pence under £70 delivered.
They've currently got them on at £40 per end and offer a further £10 off on purchases over £75. Don't include rotors or IS/Post Mount adapters mind, but I already had those.

That is good! Fronts out of stock though, so I've gone for the 395s for super cheapness... We'll see how they are.
