I'm putting together the build kit for my new Tripster. The vast majority of miles will be daily, all-weather, commuting in and out of central London, which includes training. I will also be using it for weekend rides of mixed terrain around the Home Counties, and occasional more offroad ride further afield.
Brakes are Shimano RS685 hydros with 785 calipers. Hubs are 6-bolt. I weight 75-80kg depending on how much racing I'm doing.
Options I've been considering in descending order of minimalism:
* Shimano RT86 Ice-tech
* Hope Race X2 Lightweight
* Ashima AI-neon
I assume I would need sintered pads for the Ashimas. Would the Hopes be aggressive on pads.
What sort of pads would best suite my use?
TIA. 🙂
As an addendum. Does anyone have recommendation for IS to 160mm post adapters other than getting an XTR one?
