These are the cheapest Shimano brakes I can find - www.merlincycles.com/shimano-m395-hydraulic-disc-brakes-front-rear-set-67706.html

(not sure if it includes rotors).

the Clarks brakes are surprisingly good/excellent...got a set on my gym/shopper bike and would happily pay twice what I paid for them if had to buy another set

Oddly in for the same thing as someone tried to nick my Hayes stroker off the pub bike (got the clamp off one lever and it's probably a good time get newer brakes). How are those Shimano M395?

The answer to this is normally Clarks isn't it? At £20 an end?

I keep thinking about putting a disc brake on the front of my commuter, I'd probably swap out the standard bolts for security ones to make it harder to remove.

I, and a few friends have had nothing but bother from cheap shimano brakes. The seal on the transfer ports all seem to leak. Clark's M2 callipers are one piece, so can't have that problem & seem very well regarded.
If I was buying again, it would be Clark's.

I've been happy with the Shimano M315 that came fitted to my commuter. £34 for both ends.
