Strengths: AWESOME POWER!! I went for the 185 on the front and its eyepopping! not as much modulation as the 165 on the rear however! Standard formula pads work great if not a little expensive! (although they do last a while) work excellently in all conditions!Weaknesses: first front brake was delivered faulty, one phonecall to formula and a replacement was sent! excellent service. no other problems so far!Bottom Line: If you want a maintenance free hydraulic disc brake with no squeeks or annoyances then get these! choose you disc size wisely however depending on your riding style! i have an extremely powerful 185mm front disc, i dred to think how strong the 205 is!
