(That is all I need right? just levers, the disks and caliber thingy, and the cable and housing?).
All that comes out to about $233 or so.

i don't know about others, but i haven't had any real issues with my hydros - other than the occasional rubbing and squeeling. i did my reading before buying them, so i knew what to expect in terms of problems. i did those quick fixes i mentioned above as soon as i was able and never really had to worry about things since.

i'd take a good set of hydros over mechs any day (although i would like to try out a set of avids just to see what all the hype's about).
