Can I get your guys oppinon on the Alight 2 Vs the Rove 3?
I think those two are my favorite contenders.
What do you think about the brakes/shifting difference on these two?
I know those two things seem to be pretty important for obvious reasons.
Which Rove?
Rove 3 (basic, with rim-brakes):

or
Rove 3 Disc:

Both the Roves are one grade better in rear derailleur than the Alight 2, Acera vs Altus, but it's not really that significant at these levels. Otherwise the rest of the components are pretty much a wash across the board.
Obviously the Disc brakes on the disc version of the Rove are a step up from rim-brakes. None of the Alight's have disc brakes available, so if you want those, your decision is more limited.
Again, it pretty much comes down to what
you want.
Now the we've beat the suspension vs. not to death, we could start a similar 3 page debate on disc brakes vs not if you'd like...
Cheers
